General information
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) is a highly respected financial institution that serves as a pivotal player in the global securities market. Its origins can be traced back to the year 1927 when it was initially established as the “Bourse de Luxembourg”. Since its inception, the LuxSE has undergone significant transformations and has emerged as a dynamic marketplace for securities trading.
History of Luxembourg Stock Exchange
In its early days, the Bourse de Luxembourg operated as a relatively small securities exchange with limited financial resources. It primarily dealt with government bonds, and its operations were modest compared to other European stock exchanges. However, the exchange’s fortunes began to change in the post-World War II era when Luxembourg emerged as a leading center for international banking and finance.
The Bourse de Luxembourg was able to capitalize on this new wave of economic growth and transformed itself into a global marketplace for securities trading. In the 1970s, the exchange began to attract foreign issuers, and its reputation as an international center for finance continued to grow. By the 1980s, the exchange had become a vital player in the European securities market and had established itself as a hub for Eurobond trading.
In 1990, the Bourse de Luxembourg was renamed as the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) and has continued to flourish in the modern era. The exchange’s success can be attributed to its innovative approach to securities trading, as well as its commitment to transparency and investor protection. It has also been at the forefront of sustainable finance, with the launch of the world's first green bond platform in 2007.

MOX was the first financial institution in Macao to offer bond issuance, listing, registration, custody, trading, and settlement services. In its first year of operations, 13 companies from Macao and mainland China issued and listed 18 bond products on the platform, with a total volume exceeding MOP40bn ($5bn). The agreement was signed in a ceremony attended by Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Wai Nong, the Chairman and President of the MOX Executive Committee, Mex Zheng, and the LuxSE CEO, Robert Scharfe.
