The first stock exchange in Warsaw was established in 1817. First trading sessions were held between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. In the XIX century mainly bills and bonds were traded. Share trading on the broader scale developed in the second half of the century.

When the Second World War had broken out, the Stock Exchange was closed.
It was only after the fall of the communist regime in 1989, when the Warsaw Stock Exchange could be reestablished.
