The law codifies the provisions of the legislative acts on the stock market, particularly those of the Laws of Ukraine “On Securities and the Stock Exchange”, “On the State Regulation of the Securities Market in Ukraine”, “On the National Depositary System and Special Features of Electronic Circulation of Securities in Ukraine”, and the Civil Code of Ukraine.

The law improves the regulation of issues of professional stock market activities, in particular with regard to securities management, the method of licensing stock market professional participants, and the requirements thereto, including those concerning the combining of certain types of professional activities in the stock market. The law includes provisions on the issuance procedures of open (public) and closed (private) placement of securities. Besides, the law sets requirements to information disclosure by issuers and professional stock market participants, introduces the notion of insider information, and regulates the matters of unfair advertising in the stock market.

The Law shall come into effect in 30 days from the day of its promulgation.
