What is the Paris Stock Exchange?

The Paris Stock Exchange is an informal name of the main French stock exchange of securities. Historically it was known as the Paris storm. In 2000, Paris was renamed Euronext as part of an Agreement with Stock Exchange in three other countries.

Traders eventually settled in one place, Palais Brongnart. Given that "Bourse" is a French word that can be transferred to several English financial terms, including the stock exchange, the building also became known as Palais de la Bours, and the exchange itself was referred to as the Paris Bourse. The resulting alliance is known as Euronext, with the French stock exchange now known as Euronext Paris.

Medium -sized companies fall under the second March. Nouveau Marche covers new companies that are rapidly expanding and need access to capital to finance this expansion. Any other securities fall under Marche Libre or free market; These stores are not regulated and Euronext Paris only acts in an administrative role.
