BYMA consolidates its strategic alliance with B3 and creates a new Futures Exchange
BYMA was authorized by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to launch its Futures Exchange in Argentina, through the B3 Platform: PUMA Trading System. Consequently, after being disclosed in April 2018, the Agreement with B3, an unprecedented case in Latin America for its potential in local and regional collaborative development, was consolidated. The Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM – Brazilian authority) has also approved the transaction.
Since tomorrow Friday 27th July, BYMA will enter the Futures Exchange, enabling the trading of Merval Index Futures Contracts – with expiration date in September – and which terms and conditions have also been approved by the Regulatory Authorities of both countries.
This way, BYMA is moving forward in the local derivatives market with a leading platform called: B3 PUMA Trading System, and is offering Intermediaries Agents, local and international Institutional Investors and Mutual Funds, an internationally renowned trading system which guarantees stability and operational safety standards.
Ernesto Allaria, BYMA President, said: “The local derivatives market has a great potential. Working jointly with B3 let us transparently increase market volume and depth. Our aim is to consolidate a Financial Hub while fostering development in the region.” He also added: “At local level, the opportunity is related to the support it will receive from B3: expertise from an experienced market in terms of trading Futures Contracts”.
Roberto Belchior, Director of B3 – Markets Development for Latin America, and BYMA Director, said: “By providing BYMA with a solution to host its new derivatives segment within PUMA Trading System, which is being launched with the offer of Merval Index Futures Contracts, B3 reaffirms its capacity to provide worldwide innovative and creative solutions. The service Agreement between B3 and BYMA has shown and evidenced the potential cooperative relationship that may be reached between financial market infrastructures, as a powerful tool for growth and as a way to create new opportunities and added value for companies, shareholders, market participants and customers. Today, a new stage for the Latin American capital market has begun”.
