New Zealand accepted as signatory to the MOU of securities regulators

After a thorough screening process, New Zealand has been accepted as a signatory to the Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Consultation and Co-operation and the Exchange of Information (the MOU).

New Zealand has now been verified as a country able to comply with the terms of the MOU. Being accepted as a signatory means that the New Zealand Securities Commission will be able to exchange essential information with regulators of other signatories when investigating breaches of securities law.

The MOU, developed by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions, provides an international system for cooperation by regulators to combat breaches of securities and derivatives laws, including fraud and market abuse.
