RE: BUSINESS, ECONOMY, EUROPE, FINANCE, INVESTMENT
The Brussels Stock Exchange is Belgium’s main financial market where shares of companies are bought and sold. It’s a place where businesses can raise money from investors by offering part ownership in the form of stocks. People and institutions invest through the stock exchange hoping to earn returns as the companies grow.
Today, the Brussels Stock Exchange is part of a larger system called Euronext, which connects several European stock markets including those in Paris, Amsterdam, and Lisbon. Though the exchange is now mostly digital, the original building - known as La Bourse - is still a major landmark in Brussels.
The exchange plays an important role in Belgium’s economy, helping companies grow and allowing the public to invest in national and international businesses.
