The PSE has decided to remove several issues from the base of the PX-50 index. As of July 1, 2003, the index will consist of 16 titles (vs. the current 18). Most importantly, the weighting of Komercni banka, based on yesterday's closing prices, would rise to 19.5% from 15.8%.
The weightings of CEZ and Cesky Telecom in the base, on the other hand, will decline by 226 bps and 164 bps, respectively (to 17.2% and 19.5%).
