The Athens Exchange (ATHEX; Greek: Χρηματιστήριο Αθηνών, also Greek: Χ.Α.) is "the operator of the regulated markets, the multilateral trading facilities (MTFs) and carbon market as well as the over the counter market (OTC) in Greece". There are five markets operating in ATHEX: regulated securities market, regulated derivatives market, Alternative market, carbon market (for EUAs) and OTC market. In the regulated securities market investors can trade in stocks, bonds, ETFs and other related securities. The term Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is unofficially used for the stock exchange in ATHEX; this term was used in the past more extensively, a fact that was reflected in the address of the former corresponding website of the exchange (the current website is www.helex.gr).
ATHEX has over 30 indices. The six main indices are: Composite Index (GD), FTSE/Athex Large Cap (FTSE , also known as FTSE 25), FTSE/Athex Mid Cap Index (FTSEM), FTSE/Athex Market Index (FTSEA), FTSE/ATHEX Global Traders Index Plus (FTSEGTI) and FTSE/ATHEX Factor-Weighted Index (FTSEMSFW).
The Athens Composite index started trading in 1980, its High 6355.04 set on 17 September 1999.
The Athens stock exchange was closed on 27 June 2015 because of the Greek government-debt crisis. It reopened on 3 August 2015 and lost more than 16% in the day's trading with certain bank stocks plummeting 30%, the daily change limit.
