Elnezest az esetleges kisbetukert, de az eredeti szoveg csupa
nagybetuvel volt irva, amit at kellett cserelnem.

Intro:  The political problems in Poland have  not  troubled
investors in that big Central European market where prices this
week soared to a 12-month high.  V-o-A's Barry Wood has that and
other East European market news.

Text:  There has  not  been a week like this in Warsaw since back
in February, 1994, when the WIG (Warsaw market) index broke over
the 20-thousand level.  This week, while the prime minister
resigned, the WIG index soared 14 percent to 99-hundred-69.
Investors looked instead at the brightening prospects for the
Polish economy which is already the fastest growing in Europe.
In 1993 Poland's infant stock market rose  800 percent.  In 1994,
it was down over 50 percent and held steady during 1995.

Budapest is also winning investor confidence.  The BUX (Budapest
market) index on Friday advanced for the 10th consecutive
session.  The index is at 19-hundred-23, a record high and a more
than eight percent gain on the week.  There are upgraded growth
and inflation forecasts for Hungary.

Prague, which has the biggest number of listed companies in the
east, was down slightly on the week. The P-S-E (Prague) index
closed at 442.

The smaller exchanges were again mixed.  Normally sleepy
Bratislava has been doing well, the market was up three percent
on the week.  Sofia was lower on shrinking volume.  Lujbljana was
down slightly.  And Zagreb was active but little changed.
