The Foreign Equities Division presented the detailed legislation for regulating the derivatives sector. Comprising its regulatory compliance reforms, derivative markets would be subject to comprehensive regulation in order to protect against processes in such markets exposing excessive risk to the industry and maintain the transparency and efficiency of those markets. The regulatory policy would also empower the Foreign Equities Division to thwart market manipulation, fraud, insider trading, and other market exploitation. Additionally, it would block derivatives from being accessible easily and unsuitably to inexperienced investors.
