History

edit

The first attempt

edit

The idea of creating a stock exchange in Algiers appeared in 1990 as part of the economic reforms of 1988. It is established by law:

  • 88-01 on the orientation of EPA (Economic Public Enterprises)
  • 88-03 with formation of 8 funds for participation
  • 88-04 amending and supplementing the Ordinance 59-75 of 26/09/1975 on the Code of Commerce

These laws introduced the distinction between state ownership and state public authorities.

In 1990, the company was incorporated securities (SVM), its capital is held by the fund 8 to participate. Its capital in 1992 rose to 9.32 million DA in the same year its name was changed as well and became "Securities Exchange (BVM)." In the absence of specific laws and code of commerce suitable for the market economy has been able to exercise the stock market.

The Finance Act of 2009 exempts from tax the proceeds of securities and shares of total income tax for a period of five years.
