The London Stock Exchange

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is one of the world’s oldest and largest financial markets, where companies list their shares to raise capital by selling ownership stakes. Investors buy and sell these shares through the LSE, facilitating liquidity and price discovery. It operates as a platform for trading stocks, bonds, and other securities, setting rules and standards to ensure fair transactions. The LSE also provides financial information, analysis, and regulation to support global investors and companies, playing a vital role in the UK and international economy by enabling investment, growth, and economic stability.
