Global securities trading: the question of a watchdog

Article Abstract:

Creation of an international regulatory organization to oversee securities trading appears to be unlikely for the near future. Existing domestic regulatory systems, including both public sector regulation and private self-regulation by securities exchanges, will continue to operate for some time, while pursuing greater international coordination and cooperation. The existing international organizations, which are the International Organization of Securities Commissions and the International Federation of Stock Exchanges, are basically special interest groups which lack the authority to enforce international regulatory standards.

Municipal securities market: same problems - no solutions

Article Abstract:

The SEC moved in to regulate the municipal securities market after a series of defaults and near defaults indicated widespread corruption in the system. However, once the immediate crisis was resolved, the market returned to the old, inefficient system of regulation. A better approach would be to impose registration requirements, make professional participants and issuers liable for misleading statements in official documents and change the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board from a statutory entity to an independent rule-making organization.
