Abstract:
Through the economic development, aspects such as greed, underestimated risks, irresponsibility by control agencies or financial speculation have been key factors in triggering financial crises whose side effects have affected economic, political and social performance of several countries around the world. As capital markets have been fundamental as intermediaries in channeling resources towards financing and investment activities, they have been granted with a high level of importance in measuring the economic performance of countries. This paper reviews the origins of the 2008 international financial crisis and analyzes its relationship with the performance of the 6 most important Latin American stock exchanges during the years 2005 to 2015 through the analysis of price of its index, stock market capitalization, number companies and total amount traded in equities.
