Mexican lawmakers OK stock market reform bill

Mexico's lower house on Wednesday passed a bill aimed at revamping national stock exchanges, a long-awaited move meant to boost trading following a spate of delistings from the main market in recent years. The bill loosens regulations for companies to go public, speeding up the process and reducing the costs involved, said Mexico's largest market operator, the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, in a statement. "This will strengthen financial inclusion and access to financing for Mexican companies, especially small- and medium-sized ones," Deputy Finance Minister Gabriel Yorio said on social media platform X.
