The Stock Exchange Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing and operating a securities exchange in New Zealand. It is primarily used when setting up a new exchange or updating the regulatory framework of an existing one. The agreement must comply with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and other relevant New Zealand legislation, incorporating requirements from the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) and international best practices. This document typically includes comprehensive provisions for trading operations, market supervision, risk management, membership criteria, and technological infrastructure. The Stock Exchange Agreement is essential for ensuring market integrity, transparent trading operations, and regulatory compliance while providing clear guidelines for all market participants.
