History

The roots of the Paris Stock Exchange dates back to 24 September 1724. During the early 19th century, the commercial center was concentrated in securities at the Palais Brongniart (including Palais de la Bourse ) and in the second half of this century, just the Compagnie des agents de change originated. The managing body of elected this company securities dealers had to meet several requirements. In addition to the French citizenship had for each candidate, who was elected, the approval of the French Ministry of Finance should be sought.

Until the late 1980s was working on this exchange by trading floor. An electronic trading system was established in 1986, which was fully automated in 1989. The palace also housed the derivatives exchanges MATIF ( Marché à terme of Instruments Financiers ) and MONEP ( Marché des Options Negotiable de Paris). The late 1990s the stock market pushed ahead with the euro next project and went in 2000 to the NYSE Euro Next.
