About this statute

This provision gives the Act its short title and says it starts on dates set by the Minister in the Gazette, with different dates allowed for different provisions or categories. This part defines many market-capital terms and sets rules for stock and derivatives markets, including when a market is allowed, who may approve exchanges, and what exchanges must report and maintain. The Minister and the Securities Commission have powers to approve, withdraw approval from, direct, and suspend exchanges and exchange holding companies, subject to stated conditions and notices. The Commission may register recognised market operators and approved clearing facilities, but applicants and regulated persons must provide information, comply with directions, and help the Commission. Operating a clearing facility without approval is an offence. This provision bars unlicensed or unregistered regulated market activity, sets licensing and registration rules, gives the Commission broad licensing powers, and imposes recordkeeping, notice, fee, and penalty obligations.
