Coverage
Five markets, and how readable each one is
Covering a market and being able to read it are not the same thing. This is the difference, market by market, counted from the register rather than claimed.
- 01
Chile
The deepest of the five registers: the authority names the market in most of its decisions, in its own words and with its date. Most of the comparables this site shows come from here.
- 02
Uruguay
The ministry labels its own concentrations, so the listing arrives clean and every transaction enters with its party, its date and its file number. The ceiling is elsewhere: most resolutions are published as scanned images, and from those the market cannot be read.
- 03
Brazil
CADE publishes the notice of every decision in the open, and there the market is named in prose: that is where what gets published comes from. The register of notified acts asks for an automated verification, which is not circumvented here.
- 04
Paraguay
The catalogue publishes the file number, the parties and the date of every transaction, and that is what goes into the edition: 49 files read. The body of the resolution arrives as an image, so the market cannot be named yet — and when it cannot, the note says so.
- 05
Argentina
Argentina comes in through the one place the law requires publication: the Second Section of the Official Gazette, where a change of ownership or a transfer of a going concern is published to have legal effect. The party, the date and the document of every movement come from there. Nobody names the market: the CNDC does not publish a readable register of its decisions.
Subscription
Your comparable is already written. The question is who reads it first.
The complete edition arrives now, at no charge and with no automatic subscription. If the Southern Cone is not your market, you will see that there; and if it is, you will have the date, the file number and the figure before your counterparty does. And if you subscribe afterwards and it is not for you, you have 30 days: one click and the whole payment comes back, with nobody asking you anything.
