Editing Mexican Stock Exchange (section)

=== Bolsa de México===
From 1880 to 1900, Plateros and Cadena streets in the [[Historic Center of Mexico City|historic center of Mexico City]] were home to recurring meetings in which brokers and businessmen purchased and sold all kinds of commodities as well as stocks in [[public offering]]s. Afterwards, exclusive groups of shareholders and issuing company representatives would gather to negotiate behind closed doors in different places around the city.

In 1894, Manuel Algara, Camilo Arriaga, and Manuel Nicolín pushed, among the most distinguished brokers of the time, the idea of a normative and institutionalised system to trade securities. With the increased backing and widespread support for his ideas, the '''Bolsa Nacional''' (''National Stock Exchange'') was founded on 31 October 1894 at 9 Plateros Street, later renamed [[Francisco I. Madero Avenue|Madero Street]]. Less than a year later, another group of brokers, led by Francisco A. Llerena and Luis G. Necochea, formed a society named '''Bolsa de México''' (''Stock Exchange of Mexico)'', and registered as a competing establishment on 14 June 1895. Because of coinciding objectives and links between members of the two institutions, leaders began discussing a union between them. On 3 September 1895, the merger was finalised, keeping the name Bolsa de México, and the administrative offices at the Plateros Street address. The company was officially inaugurated on 21 October 1895.

By the start of the following year, Bolsa de México had three public issuing companies and eight private ones, among them, the [[Bank of Mexico]], the [[Grupo Financiero Banamex|National Bank of Mexico]], and the {{Interlanguage link multi|Banco de Londres y México|es}} (later acquired by [[Banco Santander]]).
On 1 March 1933, the [[Congress of Mexico]] passed and President [[Abelardo L. Rodríguez]] signed into law the Regulatory Decree of the General Law of Credit Institutions and Auxiliary Organisations, normalising the exchange of securities and the stock market in Mexico.
