Catalyst opened in September 2009 in order to create an organised, transparent and safe trading market for fixed-income instruments issued by companies and local governments in Poland. Catalyst is comprised of four trading platforms. Two platforms are operated by the WSE as a regulated market and an alternative trading system, where the trading unit is one bond; the other two markets are operated by BondSpot under the same formula, where the trading unit is at least PLN 100 thousand.
