Need some info about monetary system in Colombia for a high school class

I teach in an english speaking school in north bogota and will be talking about personal finance and investment. The US based stuff is no problem but I am having a hard time finding out about the Colombian side.....what companies are listed in their market, what are current interest rates..mortgage, saving, etc., is there a list of Brokers in colombia, is there something similar to the US IRA program, etc. I have tried googling a bunch of different things and am not finding anything. Thanks for any help!

mmm, I don't know much about that stuff but the IGBC (Colombian Stock Market General Index) has these companies implied:

Maybe if you searched on IGBC or BVC (Colombian Market) you could get more info.

Cristal,
I would get in contact with a professor
of economics at a university. They may
be able to give you the information you need. They could also refer you to some one that has the specific information you need.

Thankyou for the suggestions. The web site was great. Apparently they have changed the website for the Bolsa de Valores and that was why I couldn't find it. But if anyone else has any further help, I can always use it. I will try to find a professor as you suggested, David, thanks!
