In 1972, the Thai government took a step in creating a capital market. The changes extended government control and regulation over the operations of finance and securities companies, which until then had operated fairly freely. By 1975, the basic legislative framework was in place and on 30 April 1975, the Securities Exchange of Thailand officially started trading. On 1 January 1991 the name was formally changed to the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).<ref name="SET">{{cite web|title=History & Roles|url=http://www.set.or.th/en/about/overview/history_p1.html|website=Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)|access-date=24 July 2020|archive-date=13 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200713190508/https://www.set.or.th/en/about/overview/history_p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
