Mexican Stock Exchange, Stock exchange in Mexico City, Mexico

The Mexican Stock Exchange occupies the Centro Bursátil on Paseo de la Reforma, completed on 19 April 1990. At street level a low circular base carries a dome of reflective glass squares in dark framing, with white capital letters reading "TRO BURSAT" on a dark band above it. Tall office towers, including a dark glass tower with bronze-colored vertical edges, rise behind the low domed structure.

Merchants founded this exchange in 1894 on Plateros Street to create a regulated place for trading commodities and financial papers. Over the decades, operations moved to new buildings and adopted electronic trading platforms that replaced the old in-person auction process.

The exchange's name, Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, dates from the 1975 Securities' Market Law, when the Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey exchanges merged into one. Its main index is the Índice de Precios y Cotizaciones. Since 2011 the BMV has belonged to MILA, the Latin American Integrated Market shared with Santiago, Lima and Colombia.
