History
The Euronext Lisbon was formed in
2002 when the shares of Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP) were acquired by
Euronext N.V. and the exchange was merged into the pan-European exchange. BVLP, the Portuguese exchange, was formed in the 1990s restructuring of the Lisbon Stock Exchange association and the Porto Derivatives Exchange Association.
At the end of 2001, 65 companies were listed on BVLP-regulated markets, representing a
market capitalization of
Euro 96.1 billion. From January to December 2001, a total of 4.7 million
futures and
options contracts were traded on the BVLP market.
In 2007, after the merger of
Euronext and
NYSE, the Euronext Lisbon joined the new
NYSE Euronext group, the largest corporation operating multiple
securities exchanges in the world.
