In 2010, the Lao government sought technical and financial support from South Korea (Korea Exchange has a 49-percent stake in the LSX), as well as advice from neighbouring Thailand, to help build the exchange.[3]

The glass-building cost $10 million to build.[4] It began operations on 11 January 2011.[5]
