CEZ is considering a plan to list its shares on a stock exchange in a country where the company plans to operate. Any decision would probably be made by the end of the year. Dual-listing CEZ’s shares would in our view increase the total traded volume due to an increase in the awareness of the stock in those countries. At the same time, dual-listing could bypass some restrictions of local funds for purchasing foreign stocks.
CEZ’s NPP Temelin has asked for approval to use its first block after four years of test operations. The company is also planning to ask for a permit to use the second block commissioned in 2003.
