London Stock Exchange

Japanese: ロンドン株式取引所 - ロンドンかぶしきとりひきしょ

The largest stock exchange in the UK, located in the City, the heart of London. It is one of the three largest stock exchanges in the world, along with the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In the UK, the birthplace of capitalism, stock trading became more active from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, and professional securities traders began to appear, and the City coffee house, Jonathan's, became their hangout spot. The place became a frequent place for stock trading and information exchange, and in 1773 it was renamed a stock exchange, which is said to be its origin. The current London Stock Exchange was officially launched in 1802 when the building was completed. Although the trading volume was overtaken by the United States in the 20th century, it still has the largest number of listed stocks in the world, and is characterized by its presence in countries all over the world. In the past, all members were individuals, and traditional trading such as the jobber-broker system was emphasized, but in 1986 the Thatcher administration's Big Bang policy opened up the market and liberalized trading, leading to the entry of major capital and the reactivation of the London market. As EU integration progressed, the alliance between the London Stock Exchange and the Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt, announced in 1999, drew attention as a phenomenon symbolizing the revival of stock exchanges. After that, under the Blair administration, which promoted globalization in cooperation with the United States, the London Stock Exchange occupied a central position in the world economy, but was hit hard by the financial crisis that originated in the United States and the global recession in 2008, and suffered a major crash in stock prices.

ロンドンの中心街シティにある英国最大の証券取引所。ニューヨーク証券取引所，東京証券取引所と並ぶ，世界三大証券取引所である。資本主義の発祥地英国では証券取引が活発化した17世紀後半から18世紀初頭にかけて，専門の証券業者が現れるようになり，シティのコーヒーハウス〈ジョナサンズ〉が彼らの溜まり場となった。証券取引や情報交換が頻繁に行われるようになった同所を，1773年に証券取引所と改めたのが起源とされる。現在のロンドン株式取引所が正式に発足したのは，取引所の建物が完成した1802年。売買高は20世紀に入って米国に追い越されたものの，上場銘柄数は現在も世界一で，世界各国に及ぶのが特徴。かつては会員はすべて個人で，ジョバー・ブローカー制度など伝統的な取引を重視していたが，1986年のサッチャー政権による〈ビッグバン〉政策で市場の開放化，取引の自由化がなされ，大手資本が進出し，ロンドン市場は再び活発化した。EUの統合がすすむ中で1999年に発表されたロンドン株式取引所とフランクフルトのドイツ株式取引所との提携は，証券取引所の復権を象徴する現象として注目された。その後米国と協調してグローバル化を推進するブレア政権のもとで世界経済のセンターの位置を占めてきたが，2008年米国発の金融危機と世界同時不況の直撃を受け株価の大暴落に見舞われた。ウォール街／東京証券取引所／ニューヨーク金融市場／ニューヨーク株式取引所／ロンバード街
