Which Argentine exchange was founded in Buenos Aires in 1854?

The Buenos Aires Stock Exchange was founded in Buenos Aires in 1854.

It was created during the early development of Argentina’s modern commercial and financial institutions. The exchange became a central venue for trading Argentine shares, government securities, and other financial instruments.

In 2013, Argentina created BYMA, the Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos, to operate the country’s principal securities market. BYMA succeeded the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange as the main exchange organization, while the historic 1854 institution remains an important part of the market’s lineage.

The exchange is sometimes confused with the Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires, a related trading institution that existed within the older market structure. The modern operator is BYMA, but the historic exchange founded in 1854 is the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.
