Company History

BME was founded in 2002 as a result of the merger of Spain's four regional stock exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Valencia) and the country's clearing and settlement entities. It became a publicly traded company on the Madrid Stock Exchange in 2006. In 2020, BME was acquired by SIX Group, a Swiss financial infrastructure provider, and delisted, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.
