MILA is largely a part of economic integration efforts among the Pacific Alliance member countries of Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. With the successful integration of the Mexican Stock Exchange with the Chilean, Colombian, and Peruvian bourses MILA has become Latin America's largest stock exchange.
Investors are able to access MILA through one of the registered brokers that have access to the common trading platform for buying and selling stocks in any of the three countries. In the same way, the companies participating in MILA have increased availability to capital by means of new investors.[4]
