证券交易所是买卖股票、公债、公司债券等有价证券的有组识、有固定场所的市场。它本身既不买入证券也不出售证券，只提供交易场所和服务，同时也兼有管理证券交易的职能。其组织形式，在欧美经济发达国家多是会员制，发展中国家有采用股份公司制的。 A stock exchange is a well-established and fixed-place market for buying and selling securities, bonds, corporate bonds and other securities. It neither sells nor sells securities itself, it only provides trading venues and services, and it also has the function of managing securities transactions. Its organizational form is mostly membership in economically developed countries in Europe and the United States, and in developing countries there are joint-stock company systems.
