On April 29, 2026, the Financial Superintendency of Colombia (SFC) and the Self-Regulatory Body of the Colombian Securities Market (AMV) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen institutional cooperation and information exchange mechanisms between the two entities. The agreement operates within the legal and regulatory competencies of each authority and aims to optimize institutional coordination in supervision, investigation, and disciplinary matters while enhancing investor protection and promoting transparency and integrity in Colombia's capital markets. The MoU is grounded in Law 964 of 2005 and Decree 2555 of 2010 , which encourage collaboration between supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations to avoid duplication and maximize effectiveness. Key provisions include: establishing conditions for information exchange under strict confidentiality and data protection standards; creating a Coordination and Monitoring Committee responsible for defining protocols and information delivery mechanisms; adopting internal information management protocols ensuring secure and timely exchange; and maintaining full respect for each entity's respective competencies without delegating functions or modifying applicable legal frameworks. SFC Superintendent César Ferrari highlighted that the MoU will advance a more coordinated supervisory scheme supported by relevant and timely information exchange, enabling more effective responses to potential violations and benefiting the financial system and investors. AMV President Hernán Alzate noted that the memorandum strengthens the self-regulatory framework and ensures effective coordination to promote a more solid, reliable capital market aligned with international best practices. The agreement will remain in effect for three years and is renewable by mutual consent. It includes mechanisms for resolving differences through coordination and cooperation channels.
