BlackRock Developing Local ETFs in Chile, Colombia to Attract Investors

November 15, 2010--BlackRock Inc., the world’s largest money manager, plans to offer local exchange-traded funds in Colombia and Chile to expand its business to institutional and retail investors in the South American nations.

Work on the creation of locally-listed, peso-denominated ETFs in Chile will probably begin “in the short term,” said Axel Christensen, BlackRock’s managing director for South America excluding Brazil. iShares, the ETF fund business of New York-based BlackRock, is also in talks with the Colombian stock exchange to list local equity ETFs, he said.

“The opportunity to launch these ETFs in Chile will unfold in the first half of next year as the final details of the ETF regulation are being worked on at the local regulator,” Christensen said in an interview from his office in Santiago today. “In Colombia, we are already in negotiations with the local stock exchange.”

Latin America: Leaders Support National Policies on Innovation as Key to Sustained Prosperity

November 15, 2010--Government and multilateral leaders from the Americas called today for the region to make innovation a matter of national policy in order to protect this key but fledging development tool from political cycles.

Sustained investments in innovation could double Latin America's current projected GDP growth of 5.7 percent as the region resumes its strong pre-crisis growth pattern –the strongest in decades- said World Bank vice president Pamela Cox at the Fourth Americas Competitiveness forum in Atlanta, Georgia.

Latin America's economic recovery is all the more remarkable because the region has emerged from the crisis without systemic damage or dent on its fiscal architecture, thanks to its solid macroeconomic and fiscal frameworks, said Cox.

SEC and UK FSA Hold Meeting of SEC-FSA Strategic Dialogue

November 15, 2010--Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary L. Schapiro today met separately in London with Chairman Adair Turner of the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Chief Executive of the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Stephen Haddrill to discuss a number of issues of common concern.

During the SEC-FSA meeting, the agencies shared views regarding the oversight of over-the-counter derivatives trading, high-frequency trading, and the May 6 "flash crash" as well as recent regulatory initiatives regarding credit rating agencies and cross-border enforcement information-sharing between the FSA and SEC.

Chairman Schapiro and Lord Turner also restated their agencies' commitment to working together to improve regulation and oversight of their securities markets, particularly with regard to globally active regulated firms with a presence in both countries.

Chairman Schapiro said, "Both the SEC and FSA are in the process of drafting vital new rules for our own markets. Meetings like this with our UK counterparts at the highest levels give the Commission a better understanding of how similar market concerns are viewed in London. Given the international nature of the recent financial crisis, this exchange of views can only improve the regulatory solutions we develop to these challenging problems."
