Brief history
The first exchange on the territory of the former Yugoslavia was established in Belgrade in 1894. The old Belgrade Exchange operated almost continuously until World War II in April 1941, and was officially closed in 1953. After nearly 50 years, today's Belgrade Stock Exchange was re-established in December 1989, under the name of The Yugoslav Capital Market - Beograd. The name Belgrade Stock Exchange was restored in May 1992.

The transformed Belgrade Stock Exchange obtained a work permit from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the National Bank of Yugoslavia, and approval for commencement of operations from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Belgrade Stock Exchange is now a private company limited by shares that is owned by brokerage firms, banks, insurance companies, industrial and trade complexes and the State.
