The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE; Irish: Stocmhalartán na hÉireann) is Ireland's main , and has been in existence since 1793.
The Irish Stock Exchange lists debt and fund securities and is used as a European gateway exchange for companies seeking to access investors in Europe and beyond. With over 35,000 securities listed on its markets, the ISE is used by over 4,000 issuers from more than 85 countries to raise funds and access international investors.
A study by Indecon (international economic consultants) published in 2014 on the Irish Stock Exchange found that having a local stock market and securities industry directly supports 2,100 jobs in Ireland and is worth €207 million each year to the Irish economy. It also found that having a domestic securities industry centered on the Irish Stock Exchange generates €207m in estimated direct economic impact (measured in Gross Value Added or GDP) and €230m in direct tax for the Irish exchequer (including stamp duty on trading in Irish shares).
The exchange is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulations (MiFID) and is a member of the World Federation of Exchanges and the Federation of European Stock Exchanges.
In 2017, the ISE was named the #2 Best Medium Workplace in Ireland at the Great Place to Work Awards (GPtW).
The ISE was named Best Medium Workplace in Ireland 2016 by GPtW and ranked 14th Best Medium Workplace in Europe in the small to medium category in the same year, making it the highest ranked financial services workplace in Europe.
In 2015, the ISE won a GPtW "Inspiring" Award for work it completed on its history and was ranked in the Top 50 Great Places to Work Europe.
