New capital market rules - Companies will have to report more information to investors and the public
Companies that have shares or bonds listed on financial markets will have to publish more information about their activity and financial condition. A new draft law on transparency requirements for issuers of securities aims to establish clearer rules for reporting and publishing data related to these companies.
According to the draft, listed companies will be required to regularly publish annual and semi-annual financial reports, making them accessible to investors and the public. The goal is for anyone investing in the capital market to have complete and reliable information about the financial condition and performance of companies.
The draft law also provides for more transparency on ownership structures. Shareholders who buy or sell significant shares will have to declare this if they exceed certain ownership thresholds. This is intended to prevent market manipulation and the use of inside information for unfair advantage.
Another change relates to the publication and storage of information. All important financial data will be filed with the Financial Supervisory Authority and will be accessible to the public through official publication mechanisms.
The Financial Supervisory Authority will supervise the implementation of these rules and will have the power to take administrative measures or impose fines in case of violations.
The amendments aim to increase investor confidence and help the development of the capital market in Albania, bringing it closer to European Union standards and practices. Currently, capital markets in Albania are in a development phase and are characterized by a limited number of issuers and a relatively low level of trading activity. The lack of unified and standardized requirements for the publication of and access to regulated information may lead to information asymmetry, reduced market confidence, increased risk of abusive behavior and difficulties in supervision.
