Other Legislation

The need to ensure investor confidence is based on the assumption that all regulations on the securities market are made taking into account the achievement of two objectives:

      1. Protecting the interests of investors.
      2. Ensuring smooth running of the market.
In this respect, this section has a set of legal instruments which, while not regulating the essential aspects of the capital market, contain provisions which are in some way related to it and which, once integrated with the current legal framework, are important for the pursuit of the aforementioned achievable objectives, by providing investors with the essential legal tools to enable them to have a thorough knowledge and mastery of the rules and limits on which the market they operate is based. On the other hand, knowledge of these rules requires that investors and other market players be provided with quality and structured information.
