Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) and nuam exchange (Chilean Stock Exchanges: NUAM) formed by the merger of Santiago, Lima, and Colombia stock exchanges, today announced a strategic technology partnership that will underpin the integration, development, and expansion of the new marketplace in Latin America.

nuam exchange is seeking to establish a unique, open, and transformative market that can strengthen its domestic economies, whilst scaling to become a leading global exchange group.

By standardizing access to the market through standard industry APIs, nuam exchange will significantly improve the ease and cost of access. In addition, safeguards in the form of risk controls will help ensure quality and trust in the market, together helping to attract larger, global participants, and strengthening liquidity.

"This strategic and technological partnership gives us the ability to position nuam exchange on a world-class stage for the operation of the new market we are creating. Having Nasdaq's technology, reliability, and experience will take us to the next level in this integration process,” said Juan Pablo Córdoba, CEO at nuam exchange.
