On March 15, 2024, dr Wiesław Rozłucki – one of the main founders of the Warsaw Stock Exchange and its first president, a graduate of the Faculty of Foreign Trade at Central School of Planning and Statistics (SGPiS, the former name of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics) and a doctor of economic geography (PAN – the Polish Academy of Sciences) - received an honorary doctorate degree from the SGH Warsaw School of Economics for having made special contributions to the development of the Polish economy. The diploma was presented during a ceremonial meeting of the SGH Senate.
The laudation on this occasion was delivered by prof. dr hab. Małgorzata Zaleska, Director of the Institute of Banking, SGH Economic and Social Collegium, as well as the supervisor in the proceedings for awarding the honorary doctorate to dr Wiesław Rozłucki.
The SGH Senate conferred the honorary doctorate on dr Wiesław Rozłucki by a resolution dated December 20, 2023. The resolution took effect on the day it was adopted.
Dr Wiesław Rozłucki “during the period of economic transition - in the late 1980s and early 1990s - was involved in ownership transformations and the creation (reactivation) of the capital market in Poland. He was one of the main creators of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, of which he became the first chairman and held this position for more than 15 years,” we read in the justification for the motion to award dr Rozłucki an honorary doctorate from SGH, signed by prof. dr hab. Aleksandra Duliniec, dr hab. Andrzej Fierla, prof. SGH, and prof. dr hab. Małgorzata Zaleska.
