A revolution in securities markets' structures?

Article Abstract:

Radical changes in the structure of securities markets have been observed since the late 1970s until the mid-1990s. These changes may be attributed to several factors. First, financial authorities have adopted deregulation processes that greatly reduced protection provided to national markets. Second, technological innovations have resulted to the development of new forms of exchanges and trading processes. Lastly, alternative trading systems have evolved due to the demands of institutional investors.

The development of securities markets in transition economies: policy issues and country experience

Article Abstract:

The securities markets in Europe, including that in Russia, have continued to thrive since their establishment in 1990. However, challenges in integrating them to the international capital markets remain. A framework is still needed to be established to provide an option for financing other than that available from banks. There is also the threat to transparency and disclosure which has emerged from insider trading transactions.

International equities

Article Abstract:

International equity issuance reached a total of $15.9 billion in the first four months of 1997. This is a slight improvement over the same period in 1996 when volume totalled $15.3 billion. Of the early 1997 volume, $6 billion were primary offerings while $9.9 billion were secondary offerings. The equity market's strong performance can be attributed to corporations taking advantage of the market's continued robustness.
