As a holding company, it oversees the principal equity, fixed income and derivatives markets in Spain, including the Bolsa de Madrid, Bolsa de Barcelona, Bolsa de Bilbao and Bolsa de Valencia. Beyond cash equities, its operations extend to a broad range of asset classes, encompassing government and corporate bonds, interest rate and equity index derivatives, and foreign exchange trading platforms.
In addition to market trading venues, Bolsas y Mercados Españoles provides critical post-trade services. Its clearing subsidiary manages counterparty risk for derivatives and fixed-income products, while its central securities depository handles the settlement and custody of securities. Through its market data and technology arm, the group distributes real-time price feeds, reference data and analytics to financial institutions, broker-dealers and retail investors worldwide.
Founded in its modern form in 2002, the holding group consolidated centuries-old regional exchanges dating back to the 19th century. Over time, it has expanded its footprint beyond Spain through strategic partnerships and technology licensing agreements, serving clients across Europe and Latin America. Its platforms support both domestic issuers seeking access to Spanish capital and international investors looking to tap into Iberian markets.
Bolsas y Mercados Españoles is governed by a board of directors and led by an executive management team with deep experience in financial market infrastructure. The company is regulated by Spain’s Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) and maintains strategic alliances with other global exchange groups to foster innovation in trading, clearing and settlement.
