Which stock exchange traces its origins to the Stockbrokers' Association founded in Hong Kong in 1891?

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange traces its origins to the Stockbrokers' Association founded in Hong Kong in 1891.

That association was the first formal securities market organization in Hong Kong. It was renamed the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1914, and later developments brought several separate exchange organizations together into the modern Hong Kong market.

The exchange is based in Hong Kong and is a major international venue for companies from Hong Kong, mainland China, and other regions. It is particularly known for listings of large Chinese companies and for its role connecting international capital with Chinese businesses.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is now part of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, usually called HKEX. HKEX is the broader listed company and market group, while the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong is the securities trading venue within that group. The 1891 date refers to the exchange's institutional origins, not the date of every later corporate structure.
