Stock Exchanges

The Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) is one of two stock exchanges in Mexico and it is the second largest stock exchange in Latin America. It was founded in 1894.
The BMV was created from the merger of three stock exchanges that operated in Mexico, which were the Bolsa de Valores de México, which operated in Mexico City, the Bolsa de Occidente (Occidental Stock Exchange) in Guadalajara, and the Bolsa de Monterrey (Monterrey Stock Exchange). The exchange kept modernising until its introduction of a fully electronic system for trading which was consolidated in 1999.
