Ecopetrol S.A. has initiated a market maker program in collaboration with Andes Investment Group Inc. and Valores Bancolombia S.A. Comisionista de Bolsa, aiming to improve trading conditions and the liquidity of its shares on the Colombian Stock Exchange.

Share:

Ecopetrol S.A., a Colombian state-owned company specialising in the oil and gas sector, has recently implemented a market maker program for its common stock on the Colombian Stock Exchange. This program aims to enhance trading conditions, price formation, market depth, and liquidity, thereby strengthening the Colombian capital market and generating value for its shareholders.

Partnerships with financial firms

The program began on 3 March 2025 in partnership with Andes Investment Group Inc., a subsidiary of the Chilean group Larraín Vial. Subsequently, on 14 March 2025, Valores Bancolombia S.A. Comisionista de Bolsa joined the initiative after obtaining authorisation from the Colombian Stock Exchange. These collaborations aim to ensure better liquidity of Ecopetrol’s shares in the local market.

Objectives of the market maker program

By implementing this program, Ecopetrol seeks to strengthen the liquidity of its shares, making transactions easier for investors and contributing to better price formation. This initiative aligns with a broader strategy to consolidate the company’s position in the Colombian capital market and offer greater transparency to shareholders.

Potential impact on the Colombian market

The launch of this market maker program could have positive repercussions on the Colombian financial market as a whole. By improving the liquidity and transparency of Ecopetrol’s shares, the company contributes to strengthening investor confidence and attracting new capital, which could stimulate the development of the country’s capital market.

Commitment to shareholders

Through this initiative, Ecopetrol demonstrates its commitment to its shareholders by continuously striving to enhance the liquidity and transparency of its shares. This approach could also encourage other Colombian companies to adopt similar programs, contributing to the modernisation and efficiency of the local financial market.
