In order to ensure that we provide the highest level of investor protection, in line with IOSCO and international best practice, and create an environment that is conducive to domestic and international investors, CMDA will undertake a review of existing securities legislation that will also encompass an assessment of the structure and operation of market regulation.

The objective will be to strengthen the legal and regulatory framework of the CMDA through a phased process. The first phase will focus on assessing the appropriateness of legal and regulatory framework for the Maldives capital market given its size and complexity by identifying gaps and weaknesses. The second phase will develop draft revised legislation and regulations that meet international best
practices.
