Caracas Stock Exchange

The Caracas Stock Exchange, or Bolsa de Valores de Caracas, is the main stock market in Venezuela. It allows investors to buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies, facilitating capital investment in the economy. Established in 1947, it plays a crucial role in the country's financial sector, providing a platform for trading stocks, bonds, and other securities. However, it has faced challenges, including economic instability and hyperinflation, impacting market performance and investor confidence. As a result, the Caracas Stock Exchange reflects broader economic conditions in Venezuela, making it a key indicator of local financial health.
