Which Taiwanese exchange began operations in 1962 after being established in 1961?

The Taiwan Stock Exchange was established in 1961 and began operations in 1962.

The exchange was created in Taipei as Taiwan developed a formal securities market and expanded industrial investment. It is commonly abbreviated TWSE and remains the island’s principal listed-equities market.

The exchange’s main benchmark is the Taiwan Weighted Index, which reflects price movements across listed companies. A frequent mix-up is between TWSE and the Taipei Exchange, formerly known as the GreTai Securities Market; the Taipei Exchange focuses largely on over-the-counter and emerging-company trading.

Taiwan Stock Exchange trading became increasingly automated over time, replacing much of the earlier floor-based process. Its listed companies include major semiconductor and technology businesses, making the exchange especially important to global investors following Taiwan’s electronics industry.
