With many individuals and companies adopting investment goals with the goal of developing and sustaining their capital, and investors attempting to adopt the tools to put these goals into action on the ground, it was necessary to evaluate and legalize all of this by creating and enacting the foundations of financial legislation aimed at regulating this behavior by imposing major restrictions and requirements that maintain transparency and the spirit of integration. Accordingly, the legislator’s purpose is to tailor these foundations to the nature of the corporate world and the present day, which has contributed to resolutely emphasizing the randomness that many investors have fallen into, resulting in market losses. When it failed in 2006, it was a bitter lesson for everyone, but especially for a broader understanding of the market’s nature and passed legislation.
This text was taken from a study published on the authority’s website, in which “Josh Lerner, Ann Lemon, and Steve Doe” discuss the lack of regulation prior to the crisis, stating that “any attempt to slow trading or raise individual investor awareness about the risks to which they may be exposed is met with denunciation and suspicion, as is the prohibition of investing in high-risk companies and the requirement of certificates or qualifiers.” The public perception was that any attempts to rein in trading during the boom meant “You don’t want us to earn money!” and the Capital Market Authority couldn’t stop the bounce.
Therefore, the authority made many steps to contain the situation, and the introduction of its regulatory arm began in a firm manner, beginning with forbidding market manipulators from purchasing shares. When trading occurs, it regulates market and investor behavior.
Obtaining information about listed firms was also difficult during the crisis, since the duties and penalties for disclosure requirements were not strong enough for market makers to follow, making it exceedingly simple for individual investors to profit quickly. As a result, the Authority issued several executive regulations, including the list of financial market institutions (the list of previously authorized persons) and the rules for offering securities and continuing obligations, such as commitments to offer securities and penalties for not fulfilling these obligations, all of which helped to instill greater confidence in the market between investors and security issuers.
In the end, I believe that the Market Authority’s true birth, and in particular its regulatory maturity, began when it took effective control of matters during and after the financial crisis by enacting laws and striking with an iron fist to deal with it and create an efficient and strong market with the lowest percentage of transparency.
