History
Predecessor of WFE was established as an informal co-operation by several
European bourses in 1957. After London Stock Exchange became a member
in 1961, it formed as a formal institution as the FIBV (Federation
Internationale des Bourses de Valeurs ). Over time, the businesses run by
members came to include derivative markets, clearing houses, settlement
agencies and other financial services. For this reason, the General Assembly
voted in 2001 to change the name to the World Federation of Exchanges.
Today membership encompasses 56 exchanges from all over the world,
including NYSE becoming a member in 1966, Tokyo Stock Exchange in
1970, Osaka Stock Exchange in 1973, and Jasdaq Securities Exchange in
