The Athens Exchange or ATHEX (Greek: Χρηματιστήριο Αθηνών or ΧΑ) is a stock exchange located in Athens, Greece. It was first opened in 1876. Athens Exchange is a subsidiary of Hellenic Exchanges S.A., whose shares are listed in ATHEX. In August 1999 the derivatives market started operating, and in 2002 the Athens Stock Exchange and the Athens Derivatives Exchange merged to form Athens Exchange. Until 2007, it was located in Psiris, Sofocleous Street, near the city centre of Athens. For this reason the Exchange and Sofocleous St became synonymous.
