History
The first trading of securities recorded in Foxomexra occurred in 1644 in the city of Ardgan, capital of what was then the Empire of Foxomexra. Throughout the 17th century the exchange of securities took place in various informal settings until a permanent location for what was to become the Ardgan Stock Exchange was adopted in 1685, a location which was used for the next century until 1813 when the building was heavily damaged during the attack on Ardgan by Traditionalist forces during the Solar Schism. A new permanent location was not established until 1821 after the conflict had subsided. The new location continues to be the site of the Ardgan Stock Exchange to this day.
In 1969 the Central Securities Exchange Association (CSEA) was founded as an entirely electronic stock market. Over the next few decades CSEA exploded in prominence, rapidly asserting its position as the largest stock exchange in Foxomexra by both trade volume and market capitalization.
On 13 March 1990 the Ardgan Stock Exchange merged with the Judapest Stock Exchange in Lyonheimer after a payment of 300 million ACU, and rebranded itself as Ardgan-Judapest International Exchange Inc.
On 16 December 1988 CSEA made its first overseas purchase of a stock exchange, the Luaslumière Stock Exchange in the city of the Androren Spear for 100 million ACU.
On 25 July and 8 October 1991, respectively, CSEA purchased the Khaygavar Jāk and Northeastern stock exchanges in Kakland.
CSEA purchased the Samepo Stock Exchange of Encessia on 26 April 1994 for a price of 320 million ACU.
On 20 January 1996 the Ardgan-Judapest International Exchange Inc. purchased the Læniguëuíl Stock Exchange in Maellgain pursuing a larger expansion into southern Thrismari and rebranding itself as Kaldaz International Exchange System Inc.
CSEA Inc. and Kaldaz International Exchange System Inc. merged in 2005 following a CSEA offer of 7 billion ACU. At this time, CSEA became a publicly traded company.
In 2011 a merger between CSEA and Kenzik Trading Group - operator of the Lulern Stock Exchange in the Province of Rugia, Foxomexra - was blocked by the Foxomexran government’s Department of Justice on the grounds that it would institute a near total monopoly on the country’s securities exchange market.
On 4 March 2012 CSEA Inc. purchased the Zosava Stock Exchange in Krenya.
