The Bucharest Stock Exchange (Romanian: Bursa de Valori București, BVB) is a Romanian stock exchange headquartered in Bucharest. It is the largest in Southeastern Europe by market capitalization, facilitating the trading of stocks, bonds, investment funds, derivatives, and structured products.

Founded on 1 December 1882 by royal decree under King Carol I, the exchange initially operated as a stock exchange and commodity market until its closure in 1948 by the communist regime. Re-established on 21 April 1995, the exchange held its first trading session on 20 November 1995. It later transitioned to a public company in 2005, before listing its own shares on the regulated market in 2010.
