This paper serves as a conceptual discussion of equity culture and its development mechanism. Equity culture is a less popular source of finance in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) but yet developed in a number of developed economies. The way the CEECs will proceed is a dynamic and challenging issue to observe. We graphically display ten CEECs from our research sample and four benchmarks in terms of their institutional characteristics and thus cumulatively, we portray the status of their financial system developments and equity culture creation. The Co-Plot applied to create the exhibits, enable us firstly, to identify indicators leading to debt financing and equity financing; and secondly, to place individual CEECs not only in terms of their general financial system development credibility but also in relation to equity culture development. The presence of an efficient bureaucratic system and an institutional system with low corruption levels is a necessary condition. Therefore, if a country's government aims to start building equity culture at all levels of its corporate sector, improved quality of the bureaucratic system and low levels of corruption may enable them to achieve this.
