Buyers and sellers of stock decide on the price. It has to do with supply and demand. That is in the secondary market.
The initial stock price is set by investment bankers. It's based on the company's value and how much money the company needs/wants to raise. It is a complicated process.

There is no official arbiter of stock prices, no person or institution that "decides" a price. The market price of a stock is simply the price at which a willing buyer and seller agree to trade. It is a product of supply and demand.
