The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:X) and TSX Venture Exchange have signed a deal with Colombian stock market operator Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) to share information and make it easier for the dual listing of companies.
The exchanges said Thursday they will also help each other understand the process and rules for listing and trading securities in each other’s jurisdiction and explore and develop joint marketing opportunities.
As of April 30, there are five dual listings between TSX and BVC.
There are 19 companies listed on TSX and 43 companies listed on TSXV with operations in Colombia.
By market size, BVC is the fourth largest stock exchange in Latin America.
A Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement was signed in 2010 and came into force last August.
