Nicosia, Cyprus. Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) chairman Marinos Christodoulides said the institution is preparing for a new phase of privatisation, international expansion and technological modernisation. He made the remarks at an event marking the exchange’s 30-year anniversary.
30-year milestone and role in capital markets
Speaking at the Landmark hotel in Nicosia, Christodoulides described the CSE’s three-decade history as a journey shaped by challenges, transformation, modernisation and lessons for the country’s capital market. He said that since beginning operations in March 1996, the CSE has served as a key institution for the organisation and development of Cyprus’ capital market, with the primary aim of supporting businesses and the broader economy.
Chamber’s early contribution
Christodoulides referred to the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Keve), saying it laid the foundations for organised stock market activity in Cyprus before the formal establishment of the exchange. He said the earlier informal market created the groundwork on which today’s institution was built, and noted the presence of current and former chamber officials at the event.
Kyrenia ship emblem
The chairman also highlighted the Kyrenia ship emblem, describing it as a symbol of endurance and forward vision that reflects the history of the exchange and Cyprus. He said the emblem represents resilience in adversity and a constant forward outlook as the CSE completes 30 years of operation.
