About the Book:
Latin American Capital Markets provides lawyers, investment bankers and other professionals with an overview of the laws and regulations governing the local capital markets in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. It is the only single reference source for Latin American Securities Laws. The book covers the regulatory framework of the local securities markets, examines investor protection regulations and disclosure requirements and assesses the progress which has been made in the improvement of such regulations.
Section I of each country chapter examines the regulatory framework of the local securities market, including local laws affecting the market, the structure and authority of local regulators, the structure and governance of the local securities markets, and the participation of that country’s regulators in international efforts toward cooperation in regulating capital markets. Section II takes a close look at investor protection regulations, and covers disclosure requirements, the registration process, regulations aiming at market transparency, shareholders’ rights, and enforcement measures. Section III of each country chapter assesses the progress that has been made through legal reform of the securities markets, and looks forward to what further changes and improvements will be necessary to protect investors adequately.
The book is organized to permit easy comparison of different issues across the range of countries examined. It is unique in that it permits a comparative analysis in Latin American capital markets in a concise, single-volume format.
