About the holiday

Brief history

The idea of shareholders and their rights has developed over time, with the earliest examples of joint-stock companies dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Since then, the structure of business ownership has become more intricate, with various types of shareholders participating in the ownership and management of companies.

In recent years, National Shareholders Day has become a platform to promote understanding of the rights and obligations of shareholders. These include the right to receive dividends, the right to attend general meetings, and the right to inspect company records.
