As of October 2011, Poland's securities accounts reached over 1.525 million, reflecting significant growth over the past eight years. Monthly updates from KDPW and its participants—banks and brokers—show a year-to-date increase of 48,000 accounts in 2011 alone, with a notable spike of nearly 27,000 in June. The rise in accounts is particularly pronounced during large privatization events, with 350,000 new accounts opened in 2010. This trend underscores the increasing investor interest in the Polish market, driven by high-profile IPOs and privatizations.
