Today, the University of Groningen presents a unique scientific database on the Amsterdam stock exchange, the oldest stock exchange in the world, under the name NEDHISFIRM. The database contains financial data on both domestic and foreign companies that have been listed in Amsterdam since 1796.

The database, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), is a valuable resource for researchers interested to study the economic history of the Netherlands and the significance of the Amsterdam stock exchange. The database was built using extensive material from the historical archives of the Amsterdam stock exchange, which are managed by the Stichting Capital Amsterdam.

Abe de Jong, professor of Business Finance at the University of Groningen, sounded the gong this morning together with colleagues involved in the project. They were warmly welcomed on behalf of Euronext Amsterdam by Paul Noordam, Senior Sales Manager.
