The Euro-American company Nyse Euronext, who operates New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with divisions located in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon, announced its firmly intention to enter in the Brazilian market on Monday.
Nyse has signed an agreement with the Brazilian ATG to create an Stock Exchange called ATS, which will be located in Rio de Janeiro. Both companies will invest 100 million reais each, in order to start up the business by the end of 2013 or in early 2014. A goal has been set of achieving between 10% and 15% market share after a year.
Dominique Cerutti, Nyse CEO, stated that the Brazilian market has room for new players and this initiative won’t try to steal the market shares that holds BM&FBovespa, who has the monopoly of the Brazilian market, but to offer some conditions to foster the commerce and allow the market expansion.
In order to increase the shares deals, Nyse is looking for instigating multinationals entry in the market, which faces now an important obstacle: the entry must go through the clearing negotiation system, in which the shares need to be endorsed and registered. Brazilian Clearing and Depository Corporation (CBLC), belonging to BM&FBovespa, is in charge of carrying out all this process and does not offer this service to foreign companies.
For the moment, Nyse won’t enter in the clearing system, but will negotiate with CBLC to find solutions and foster the foreign companies entry.
