Montenegrin Stock Exchange in 2011 The only one and sole stock exchange in Montenegro began to operate in January 2011 after a technical merger with the Nex stock exchange and the Montenegro stock exchange at the end of December 2010. Following this event, the NEX Stock Exchange ceased to exist as a legal entity. The merging of these two stock exchanges will enable increased levels of liquidity and efficiency in the capital markets, and news of this is expected to be received positively by foreign investors.The new stock exchange will use the two indices, MONEKS20 and MONEKSPIF. These have been developed from the former Montenegrin stock market indices. The stock exchange will use BTS software with a creation upgrade. This version of the software supports the FIX protocol which is the international standard for the exchange of information exchange activity . This will provide a reliable connection with all of the other Montenegrin capital markets.
