How is the Dominican stock market regulated?
Law 19-00 of 8 May 2000, yet to be fully implemented, provides a modern and comprehensive legal and institutional framework to the public offer of securities in the Dominican Republic. It regulates both local and foreign issues of securities, as well as all actors in the market, such as stock exchanges, brokers, compensation chambers, central deposits, risk qualifiers, mutual funds and securization companies. The regulatory body of the market will be the Securities Supervisory Office (“Superintendencia de Valores”).
