Amsterdam Stock Exchange newspaper archive donated to Financieele Dagblad

Exactly 79 years ago, Het Financieele Dagblad was first published in its current form, as a continuation of various financial dailies. In celebration, the current FD editors received a special set of newspapers today, namely the archived paper editions from the Amsterdam stock exchange from 3 January 1944 until the present day. For decades, these newspapers formed a daily treasure of information for stock traders in the reading room of Beursplein 5.

The paper newspaper editions were donated by Stichting Capital Amsterdam, which manages Amsterdam’s stock exchange heritage.

To mark the occasion, Perry Feenstra, editor-in-chief of the Financieele Dagblad, sounded the gong today. The group was welcomed by Marianne Aalders, Communication Manager at Euronext Amsterdam.
