The trade in stocks does not happen on a daily base, but twice a month on the first and third Thursday.[2] In 2014 the National Assembly adopted the Law Capital Market (Wet Kapitaalmarkt), in line with a demand of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force.[3][4] In 2019 the VvES and the Surinamese American financial technological company OuroX signed a memorandum of understanding to found a digital stock exchange, in accordance to obligations that are provided in the law.[5] According to the law the stock exchange should have been suborderd to the Central Bank of Suriname. Both are not yet realized (as per 2023).[1][6][7]
Some notable moments out of the history of the stock exchange are the subscription to US$55 million stocks of Staatsolie Suriname NV in 2010, the move from Buiten-Sociëteit Het Park to the trainingcenter of Assuria in 2011 and the launch of the website in the same year.[1]
