FTSE New EU Index

The FTSE New EU Index covers the markets of the ten accession countries who joined the European Union on May 4, 2004. These countries include Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The Index is designed to provide a barometer of market activity in these Eastern European countries, and represents the performance of the three largest listed companies by full market capitalisation in each country.

The index is calculated and published in Euros, and is calculated in real time and published every minute during the hours of calculation. The FTSE New EU Index will be reviewed annually in June, at the same time as the FTSE Emerging Europe review.
