The idea of establishing a stock exchange in Turkey emerged in the mid-nineteenth century, and Galata Bankers took the lead in this regard by founding an association in 1864. Although the birth of a stock exchange in Istanbul can be attributed to the establishment of Dersaadet Bonds Market in 1873 (renamed as Stocks and Bonds Exchange in 1906) or the restructuring of the Stocks and Bonds Exchange into the Istanbul Securities and Foreign Currency Exchange in the republican era, it was not until 1985 that the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) was founded in its present form.
