Stock Market Was Born Here

The stock market is a very complicated concept that is difficult to grasp. So who started it? It is believed to have originated in Amsterdam many years ago. The Dutch East India Company was the first company to issue stocks and bonds, and it is considered to be the first historical model of the stock market.

Originally established in 1602, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange is widely recognized as the oldest, still-operational stock exchange in the world. To this day, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange remains a major hub for international investments and financial services. This, Paris Stock Exchange, and Brussels Stock Exchange combined forces to create Euronext Amsterdam in 2000.
