International Securities Regulation

International Securities Regulation refers to the set of laws and rules governing how securities—such as stocks and bonds—are issued and traded across national borders. These regulations aim to protect investors, ensure fair trading practices, and maintain market integrity globally. Different countries have their own regulatory bodies, like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which oversees domestic markets. However, international cooperation and agreements help harmonize these rules, making it easier for companies and investors to operate across different jurisdictions while minimizing risks of fraud and abuse.
