Securities supervision

Securities supervision involves regulatory authorities overseeing financial markets where stocks, bonds, and other investment instruments are bought and sold. Its purpose is to ensure transparency, fairness, and stability within the market, protecting investors from fraud and manipulative practices. Supervisors establish rules, monitor market activities, and enforce compliance among firms like brokerages and exchanges. By doing so, they help maintain confidence in the financial system, support economic growth, and ensure that markets operate efficiently and ethically.
