The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market outlined ongoing work to modernise the capital market, with an emphasis on innovation and digitalisation, during a discussion with the business community. The agenda centres on simplifying and automating regulatory and market processes, sharpening methodological guidance, and strengthening investor protection through greater transparency, accountability, and control over market participants. Planned digital initiatives include creating a database of specialists eligible for managerial positions using the Integrated Information System (CIS) to streamline approvals and screen out dishonest individuals. The Commission is also developing methodological prerequisites for market participants to build their own IT products, including solutions that would allow an investor to enter into an agreement on a financial instrument while executing required operations in the depository accounting system through a single automated action. Additional initiatives include introducing an “institute of related agents” to enable investment firms to establish representative networks that can promote investment projects and place orders for buying and selling financial instruments locally, and developing investment consulting intended to align instruments to investor expectations and help avoid participation in dubious projects.
