The Montevideo Stock Exchange or Bolsa de Valores de Montevideo (BVM), also known as the Bolsa de Montevideo, is the principal stock exchange of Uruguay. It is based in Montevideo and was founded in 1867. The institution's primary function is to provide a platform for the realization of laying operations, trading and safekeeping of public and private securities. Trading involves the buying and selling of existing securities in the secondary market. Securities custody is a service that provides support and security to investors, reducing the risk of loss, theft or forgery. In addition to providing services to its members, the BVM also provides services to the issuers of securities and to society as a whole. The exchange's transactions total almost 3 billion annually. BVM can hold operations for stockbrokers and special partners. Stockbrokers must be members of the BVM and meet the requirements determined by the Uruguayan laws and regulations of the Central Bank of Uruguay. Special partners are institutions authorized to operate that do not have quality partnership from BVM. Special Members may be banks, fund managers, pensions, social security institutions or insurance companies. The BVM is administered by a committee composed of seven members. In addition the Board has a BVM Fiscal Commission and a Court of Ethics, composed of stockbrokers.

Palacio Taranco
Palacio Taranco

Palacio Taranco, located in front of the Plaza Zabala, in the heart of the Old City of Montevideo, Uruguay, is a palace erected in the early 20th century during a period in which the architectural style was influenced by French architecture. It was designed by French architects Charles Louis Girault and Jules Chifflot León, who also designed the Petit Palais and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This building contains European furniture and drapings and currently contains the Museum of Decorative Arts in Montevideo. The palace is often used as a meeting place by the Uruguayan government. The palace was erected on the site of Montevideo's first theatre in the historical centre of the city which had been built in 1793. The Taranco Ortiz family commissioned the construction of the building in 1907 and it was completed in 1910. In 1943 the Uruguayan state purchased the residence and part of the furniture and gained access to its works of art, but it wasn't until 1972 that it became a museum, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975. The Museum of Decorative Arts contains various paintings, sculptures, textiles, ornaments, and European furniture. On the ground floor and first floor of the building can be found some of the furniture of Louis XV and Louis XVI finely inlaid; the works of Ribera (1591–1652), Teniers (1610–1690), Mierevelt (1567–1641), Van der Helst (1613–1670), Appiani (1754–1817), Pradilla (1846–1921), Zuloaga (1870–1945), and Sorolla (1863–1923); Benlliure sculptures (1862–1947), Bouchard (1875–1969), Landowski (1875–1961), Vermare (1899–1919) etc. The Decorative Arts Museum has an important collection of Classical Art and Archaeology in the basement, consisting of artifacts of ceramics, glass, and bronzes and various items related to Greco-Roman and Near East art and archaeology. The museum also has collections of various textiles, from Persian curtains to Flemish tapestries, and has various ointments, oils, and perfumes.
