INTRODUCTION : THE BULGARIAN STOCK EXCHANGE

                                                  The history of the Bulgarian capital market dates back from the
                                                  beginning of the 20th century.
                                                  The first provisional Stock Exchange Act was adopted in 1907 and
                                                  regulated the structure and functions of both the stock and
                                                  commodity exchanges in the country. On April 15th 1914, under the
                                                  King's Decree №7 was established the first real Bulgarian stock
                                                  exchange, named Sofia Stock Exchange. It was a market place for
                                                  trading public and private securities.

Sofia Stock Exchange started its activity in January 1918. Initially there were 21
companies listed on the exchange. Trading on Sofia Stock Exchange ceased
during the period November 1925 - September 1928 due to political reasons.
During the world economic crisis of 1929-1933 the Exchange worked on a small
scale due to the bankruptcy of a large number of local companies and low
liquidity.
In 1947 Sofia Stock Exchange ceased its operations and during the communistic
regime there was no capital market in Bulgaria. The latter was re-established
with the introduction of the Commerce Act in 1991.
