About Exchange:It is a known fact that in December 2005 the existing Ljubljana Stock Exchange turned 16 years old. However, it is less known that brokerage in Slovenia has a much longer tradition: the first stock exchange in Ljubljana existed as early as in the period between 1924 and 1942. Unfortunately, during the Second World War the trading on the old exchange was suspended, and after the war also officially banned by a decree. Slovenians were thus left without a stock exchange for almost half a century. While the newspapers and other media offer daily reports on the developments of the existing Exchange, this article gives a brief account of trading on the old Ljubljana Exchange in the times of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians.
