The story

The original exchange, the Sofia Stock Exchange, which had been established by a tsar's decree in 1914, ceased to operate after the Second World War as Bulgaria became a communist state.

BSE's first index, the SOFIX, was created in October 2000, followed by three additional indices over the years.

In January 2011, the stock exchange itself (Symbol: BSO) was added to regular market trading.

In June 2018, the name of the exchange was shortened from "Bulgarian Stock Exchange – Sofia" to "Bulgarian Stock Exchange".

In August 2023, the company formed EuroCTP as a joint venture with thirteen other bourses in an effort to provide a consolidated tape for the European Union as part of the Capital Markets Union proposed by the European Commission.

In July 2024, BSE launched a new stock exchange segment called EuroBridge, in cooperation with Deutsche Börse, which provide dual listing of companies on BEST and Deutsche Börse’s XETRA market.
