- Cboe will also extend its existing settlement solutions to trades in the new securities.

Cboe Europe, Europe's largest stock exchange operator, is to offer trading in Polish, Hungarian and Czech most liquid stocks from November 5, 2018.
The addition of WIG20 Index (Poland), BUX Index (Hungary) and PX Index (Czech Republic) means that Cboe Europe will now offer trading across 18 of Europe's markets, the greatest breadth of any exchange in the region.
Cboe will also extend its existing settlement and post-trade solutions to trades in Hungarian and Czech securities, with Participants being able to choose from EuroCCP, LCH.Clearnet or SIX x-clear as their central counterparty. In turn, Polish securities will be settled on EuroCCP and LCH.Clearnet.
The exchange operator now makes it possible to trade over 6000 of Europe's most liquid securities on a single platform, and the addition of the three new markets extends that model even further across the continent.
