The JSE acts as the Listings Authority and is licensed as an exchange in terms of the Financial Markets Act, 19 of 2012 (FMA). The JSE’s regulatory duties, powers and functions are narrowly circumscribed by the peremptory provisions of the FMA. In accordance with the FMA, the JSE is obliged to make listings requirements and enforce them.
The JSE advocates for the enhancement of corporate governance and the quality of financial reporting disclosures by companies (i) that have issued equity securities listed on the JSE and (ii) that have their debt securities listed on the JSE, for the benefit of shareholders, securities holders, investors, and other market stakeholders.
It is an integral function of the JSE to provide facilities for the listing of securities (including securities and debt securities issued by domestic or foreign companies), to provide the JSE’s users with an orderly market place for trading in such securities and to regulate the market accordingly.
Simplification Project
The JSE received overwhelming support for this project which was proposed in the May 2022 JSE Consultation Paper (Listings Review). The aim of the project is to simplify the JSE Listings Requirements (the “Requirements”) using plain language to record concise regulatory objectives, which will be easier to understand and apply for issuers and sponsors. We believe that an ancillary benefit of this undertaking may be a significant reduction in the volume of the Requirements. In this process, we will also assess the regulatory relevance of each provision and “cutting red tape” where possible to ensure that the Requirements are fit for purposes aimed at an effective and appropriate level of regulation. To this end, any amendments beyond simplification will be clearly identified and the rationale explained.
The aim of the project is to simplify the JSE Listings Requirements (the “Requirements”) using plain language to record concise regulatory objectives, easier to understand and apply.
