Which exchange, founded in 1819, is Norway’s oldest stock exchange?

Founded in 1819, Oslo Stock Exchange is Norway’s oldest stock exchange.

Oslo Stock Exchange was established in 1819, originally as Christiania Børs, using the former name of Norway’s capital. It began as a marketplace associated with goods and commercial information before developing into the country’s principal securities exchange.

The exchange is located in Oslo and is now part of Euronext, the pan-European exchange group. It is particularly well known internationally for listings connected with Norway’s shipping, energy, seafood, and offshore industries. Norway’s large maritime and petroleum sectors have strongly influenced the character of its listed market.

Its main equity benchmark is the Oslo Børs Benchmark Index, often known as the OBX or related Oslo market indices depending on the specific measure being discussed. The exchange’s long history is sometimes confused with that of Stockholm or Copenhagen, which are also historic Nordic markets, but Oslo’s institutional origins date to 1819.
