The Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) on Monday announced more products will be available on its derivatives market, while a new ESG index linked with the environment, society and governance will debut by October 2021.
Compliance with ESG criteria is, according to ATHEX sources, a challenge for the promotion of listed companies’ long-term sustainability, a criterion that is now among the parameters examined by institutional investors.
Additionally, preparations have concluded for the beginning of a spot market for electricity by ATHEX, one based on the European target model.
