The framework is centered on the <strong>Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil</strong> (CVM), an independent autarchy created by Law 6.385/1976. The <strong>Corporations Law</strong> (Law 6.404/1976) provides the corporate governance foundation, while the <strong>B3 Stock Exchange</strong> operates as the primary trading venue. Brazil&rsquo;s securities market is one of the largest in Latin America, with sophisticated regulation that increasingly aligns with international standards.</p>
