UPDATE: Reform of securities trading legislation

In the Spring 2003 issue of Financial Services Quarterly, we reported on proposals announced by the Government to further strengthen New Zealand's securities trading legislation.

Targeted consultation was expected to be carried out towards the end of 2003, but consultation on the Securities Law Reform Bill now being drafted is expected to take place early this year, with the draft bill being presented to the House mid-way through this year.
