           Banco Comercial Portugues listed on the Euronext Amsterdam 
                             from today, September 27


Lisbon, 27 September 2001

Banco Comercial Portugues will today become the first Portuguese company to be 
listed on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange. BCP's current market 
capitalisation ranks the Company amongst the top 50 companies included in the 
Euronext 100 Index.

In order to increase the liquidity of its shares and make them available to a 
wider group of international investors, Banco Comercial Portugues initiated the 
admission process to the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange in August, in advance
of the anticipated merger of the Lisbon and Oporto Stock Exchanges. BCP is 
pleased to announce that the listing process has been concluded and that BCP 
shares will start trading today, September 27.

'The listing on the Euronext Stock Exchange is an excellent opportunity to 
directly participate in the leading Pan-European stock market, increasing 
exposure with a broader international investor base' said Mr. Jorge Jardim 
Goncalves, Chairman of Banco Comercial Portugues.

Listed on the Lisbon Stock Exchange in 1987, BCP is now a leading stock in the 
Portuguese market accounting for 22.5% of the capitalisation of the Portuguese 
benchmark stock Index-PSI 20.

BCP is also listed in New York since 1992, through an ADR programme and in 
Frankfurt and London since 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Established in September 2000, Euronext is the first Pan-European stock market 
and is the result of the merger of the Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels Stock 
Exchanges, integrating their cash and derivative markets.

Euronext market capitalisation of Euros 2,421 billion in 2000, makes it the 
second largest European Stock Exchange after the London Stock Exchange (Euros 
2,745 billion). Euronext is the largest electronic order book transaction 
European stock exchange (Euros 1,712 billion in 2000).
