Rio de Janeiro Stock Exchange, Stock exchange in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Rio de Janeiro Stock Exchange was a financial institution located in the heart of the financial district that facilitated securities trading for Brazilian businesses. The institution managed government bonds and currency exchanges using the electronic Sisbex system.
The institution was founded in 1820 and remained Brazil's primary financial trading center until the market crash of the 1970s. This shift marked the beginning of São Paulo's dominance as the nation's financial powerhouse.
The exchange was a gathering place where business leaders and traders conducted daily transactions, shaping Rio's identity as a financial hub. It symbolized the city's economic power during Brazil's most prosperous periods.
The institution is no longer active as a stock exchange today, so direct trading cannot be observed. However, visitors can explore the historical building and learn about its role in Rio's financial story.
After operating independently for 182 years, the exchange merged with BM&F in 2002 to create a larger financial group. This merger ended a significant chapter in Rio's financial history.
