The number of investment accounts at the Bucharest Stock Exchange has surged from 53,000 in early 2020 to nearly 350,000 by Q3 2026, reflecting a growth rate of 20-25% annually. Radu Hanga, the BVB president, highlighted that digitalization has significantly enhanced market accessibility, simplifying investment processes and integrating trading services into mobile applications. The entry of digital banks like Salt Bank and services from ING Bank has further opened retail investment opportunities. Hanga emphasized that while digitalization simplifies processes, it must not compromise security and investor protection. He noted that improved financial education is a key benefit of this digital transformation, enabling more Romanians to participate in the economy as investors.
