WHAT IS A STOCK EXCHANGE?
Stock Exchange or Stock Market is an organized market for the trading of stocks, bonds and other securities. It
provides a mechanism through which companies can raise capital for expansion purposes by selling and issuing
securities (stocks and bonds). According to Avadhani (2002), Stock Exchange means any body or individuals whether
incorporated or not, constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or
dealing in securities; it is an association of member brokers for the purpose of self-regulation and protecting the
interests of its members. Stock exchanges are the most perfect type of market for securities whether of government,
semi-government bodies or other public bodies as well as for shares and debentures issued by the joint-stock companies.
