Wiener Börse
The Wiener Börse AG (also known as the Vienna Stock Exchange) is a bourse situated in Vienna, Austria. The exchange owns and operates the Prague Stock Exchange, and holds stakes in energy exchanges and clearing houses. It provides market infrastructure to other exchanges in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (Budapest, Zagreb, and Ljubljana), and collects and distributes stock market data and calculates the most important indices of the region. The Austrian Traded Index (ATX), the leading index of Wiener Börse, tracks the price of its blue chips in real time. The ATX composition is updated every March and September, mainly based on a stock's capitalized free float and trading volumes. The Vienna Stock Exchange also maintains a market for fixed income securities, with more than 13,000 active bonds from 38 countries and a total volume of €720bn as at May 2023.
The Vienna Stock Exchange operates two markets: the Official Market and the Vienna MTF, a multilateral trading facility. The Official Market is the main regulated market operated by the Vienna Stock Exchange.
An issuer listing securities in the Official Market must adhere to the requirements of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act. The listing application must be submitted in writing and also must also be signed by one member of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The application must include an excerpt not older than four weeks from the Austrian Business Register or equivalent in the case of a foreign issuer, a listing prospectus drawn in line with EU prospectus regulations, a current version of the issuer's articles of association or equivalent and at least one set of current audited financial statements.
The requirements of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act regarding the listing of securities in the Official Market and the accompanying obligations of issuers do not apply to financial instruments included in trading in the Vienna MTF. As such, the Vienna MTF is customarily used by foreign issuers of corporate bonds, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) issuing equity and expanding young companies. Although the requirements on issuers of securities traded in the Vienna MTF are lower, issuers still must comply with EU market abuse regulations, which were transposed into Austrian law through the Austrian Stock Exchange Act.
Wiener Börse is one of the world's oldest exchanges and was founded in 1771 during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in order to provide a market for state issued bonds. She tried to rein in the illegal trade that took place in coffeeshops during that time.
On 9 May 1873, the stock exchange crashed spectacularly ("Der Krach"), signalling the start of the Long Depression.
In 1985, Jim Rogers triggered a bull market when he said the Austrian capital market had high potential. He has been notable for his contributions to the Austrian stock market.
In 2008, the Wiener Börse agreed to buy the Prague Stock Exchange for an undisclosed amount. In the same year, the börse bought an 81% stake in Ljubljana Stock Exchange (Ljubljanska borza). In 2010, ATVP, the Slovene market regulator restricted the Wiener Börse's voting rights. The rights would be restored only by either purchasing full ownership or no more than 25% stake. The case was taken to the Slovene Supreme Court which upheld the ATVP ruling. The Wiener Börse bought the remaining shares. In 2015, the Wiener Börse sold the Ljubljana Stock Exchange to the Zagreb Stock Exchange (Zagrebačka burza).
