Background

While many economies in the MEFMI region are “bank–led”, securities markets also provide an alternative avenue to raise capital for business enterprises.

Building and maintaining confidence in the markets as well as protecting investor’s interest is a primary concern for regulators. Therefore the regulation of stock exchanges, listed entities and firms that operate on those markets is a key aspect for financial regulators.

The regulators of securities markets exercise oversight on listing arrangements, capital markets where trading takes place, the initial and continuing requirements for an entity to be listed.
