Shares could be transacted on the Sibiu Monetary - Financial and Commodities Exchange (BMFMS) if the institution's general shareholders assembly (AGA) approves a proposal made by brokerage companies HTI Valori Mobiliare, Swiss Capital and SSIF Broker. The Sibiu Exchange presently works only with derivative instruments such as futures contracts and options on shares and foreign currencies. Teodor Ancuta, the president of BMFMS, said the AGA would also discuss the listing of the institution on another stock exchange.

"We cannot be credible to the issuers we want to attract on the stock exchange if we fear being listed ourselves," shows a statement issued by the three brokerage companies that hold more than 10 percent of the institution's shares. Another topic that could be debated is the creation of a special department that would promote the Sibiu Commodities Exchange and find issuers that want to be present on the exchange. At the beginning of May, the shareholders of BMFMS approved a general agreement for a merger with the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). "An operator with a high liquidity rate is better than two exchanges transacting low amounts. When the merger is completed, the liquidity could double or even triple to 40-50 million euros per day," said Ancuta at the time. According to the BMFMS official, the shareholders adopted the decision unanimously.
