What is he doing to promote “mum and dad” investor confidence in financial markets?

PowerHon SIMON POWER (Minister of Commerce) Link to this

Among other things, the Government has decided to create a new consolidated regulator for our capital markets, to be known as the Financial Markets Authority, or FMA. The Financial Markets Authority will consolidate functions currently fragmented across the Securities Commission, the Ministry of Economic Development—including the Government Actuary—and NZX. The authority will have a clear focus on surveillance and enforcement designed to help rebuild mum and dad investor confidence in our financial markets.

When does he expect to make further announcements on the proposed Financial Markets Authority?

PowerHon SIMON POWER Link to this

I intend to introduce legislation to establish the Financial Markets Authority later this year, to enable the new authority to be up and running early in the new year. In the meantime, I expect that I will be in a position to make further announcements regarding the establishment board very soon.
