Which exchange is the world’s only Luxembourg-based stock exchange?

The Luxembourg Stock Exchange is Luxembourg’s national stock exchange and is based in Luxembourg City.

It was founded in 1928 and began operating in the period between the two World Wars. Luxembourg later developed a particularly strong international role in the listing and trading of bonds and other debt securities, alongside equities and investment funds.

The exchange is known for its international issuer base. Companies and institutions from many countries have used its markets to list securities, making it an important cross-border venue despite Luxembourg’s small domestic population.

The exchange is sometimes confused with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s LuxSE terminology or with the Luxembourg-based fund industry more broadly. Those references can describe related services, but the exchange itself is the regulated securities marketplace. Its location and international listing focus distinguish it from larger neighboring exchanges in Frankfurt, Paris, and Brussels.
