BET Benchmark (BET-BK) Index — Level, Chart & Constituents

What the BET Benchmark (BET-BK) measures

The BET Benchmark (BET-BK) is a market-capitalisation-weighted index that tracks the performance of the 30 most liquid companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). It is the main barometer for the Romanian equity market and serves as the reference point for BET, BET Plus, BET AeRO, BET Energy & Utilities (BET-NG), BET Total Return, and BET Financial Investment (BET-FI). Because it is weighted by market capitalisation, larger companies such as Banca Transilvania S.A. (TLV) and OMV Petrom S.A. (SNP) have a greater influence on the index level than smaller constituents.

Key numbers explained

What to watch

Investors typically monitor the BET Benchmark (BET-BK) alongside macro factors that affect European equities, such as interest-rate decisions, inflation data, and energy-price movements. Because the index is heavily weighted towards financials and energy, developments in banking regulation, commodity prices, and electricity and gas markets can drive its level. Liquidity conditions on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) and capital flows into and out of Romanian equities also influence short-term price swings. The index is part of the broader ROTX (Romanian Traded Index) family, which tracks different segments of the local market.
