Summary
Interactive Brokers said eligible clients can now trade Romanian stocks on the Bucharest Stock Exchange through the same mobile, web and desktop platform they already use for more than 170 markets.
Romania is one of Europe’s strongest-performing emerging markets: the BET index hit record highs in 2025 and kept rising in the first half of 2026 after MSCI elevated the country to Advanced Frontier Market status.
Bucharest Stock Exchange CEO Remus Vulpescu said the market has funneled more than 5.0 billion euros into Romania’s economy over the past 12 months and delivered total returns above 80%, the highest among EU main market indices.
The addition gives IBKR clients another diversification route while potentially bringing Romanian listed companies more global visibility, liquidity and investor participation.
