Main functions of the Stock Exchange:

• Promotes a capital market, encouraging the participation of a greater number of issuing companies, as well as investors to encourage stock market transactions.
• It holds daily trading sessions, providing the necessary technological infrastructure and facilitating communication between stockbrokers (representatives of brokerage firms), issuers and investors.
• It facilitates the efficient channelling of domestic national savings towards the investment needs of issuing entities (public or private) that require additional financial resources.
• It offers investors the conditions of legality and security in transactions carried out through the Stock Exchange, based on the Securities Market Law and other regulations.
• It adopts appropriate measures to foster confidence in the system, allowing greater participation of investors (large and small), and broadening the range of investment opportunities.
• It also constantly monitors compliance with the rules to maintain the integrity and transparency of the market, enforcing its rights under the laws, regulations and other rules.
• It keeps a record of the actual trading and prices of securities, and makes available to the public all information on what is happening in the stock market.
• The timely dissemination of information is one of the main commitments of the Salvadoran Stock Exchange, using all available channels to provide adequate and timely information for investment decisions. The Exchange's website brings together all relevant information on trading and market participants. It also developed the first stock market application in El Salvador: Bolsa Mvil.
• A relevant aspect is that the El Salvador Stock Exchange was the forerunner in the creation of the first integrated market in the region. Working together with the Panama Stock Exchange, they reached the legal and operational agreements that allowed them in 2017 to materialise the first cross-border trades using the innovative Remote Trader model. This market has proven to be a success and an example in Latin America. In 2023, Nicaragua joined this initiative and is working to finalise the details that will allow it to enter the dynamics of this common market in the short term.
