A stock exchange is a place where shares of different listed companies are bought and sold through the members of the stock exchange. The major role of the stock exchange is to assist, regulate and control the trading of shares through different measures. Stock exchanges can also be known as equity markets or shares markets.
The stock exchange itself does not indulge in trading of shares, but it regulates the trading activities being done by its members on their own as well as on their clients’ behalf. In PNGPNG Papua New Guinea, the Papua New Guinea Exchange (PNGXPNGX PNG National Stock Exchange) is the platform used for trading stocks.
