| About the stock exchange | Location: Belgrade, Serbia - Belgrade Stock Exchange was founded in 1894 with the first transactions concluded in 1895. After the World War II it was closed and resumed operations in 1989 as the Yugoslav Capital Market. In 1992, the Yugoslav Capital Market changed its name to the Belgrade Stock Exchange. In the 1990s, the trading material mostly consisted of corporate debt instruments, government bonds and the like. Although the first trades in shares were carried out in 1991, it was only in 2000 that a significant step forward was made, when shares from the privatization processes were included in the secondary market.

It organizes trading in financial instruments in a fair, efficient and transparent manner. Additional services include data vending, index development and specialized educational seminars and training courses.
