PERU/CHILE/COLOMBIA: Beginning To Integrate Stock Markets.

COLOMBIA REPORTS/   Colombia, Peru and Chile have begun linking their stock exchanges together to create an integrated market by the end of 2011 that will give companies better access to capital and help investors spread risk. "The Colombian stock market is very strong in infrastructure and energy stocks, whereas in Peru 55% of the market is mining companies," said a Colombian stock market official. "That's what I mean by diversifying risk. The three markets complement each other."
