The new Latin American International Financial Exchange - LAIFEX - will be the central trading and exchange facility, housed in the Independent Financial Centre of the Americas, to facilitate equity trading and primary and secondary debt trading between Latin American countries, between the Americas, and globally. It will access a market in excess of US $ 6.49 trillion of annually traded regional debt (source: EMTA 2007 Annual Survey).
LAIFEX will include a private exchange where members can apply for seats, and the IT platform being custom-built for the Centre can service a regional stock exchange to give companies from around the world access to new capital.
