eu market abuse regulation regulatory
"pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation"
A set of EU-wide rules that prevent cheating in financial markets by banning insider trading, market manipulation, and misleading disclosure; it also requires timely public release of key company information so everyone can play on a level field. For investors, it reduces the risk that prices are driven by secret deals or false signals, making markets fairer and more reliable for deciding when to buy or sell — like referees enforcing fair play in a game.
norwegian securities trading act regulatory
"pursuant to Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act"
The Norwegian Securities Trading Act is the national law that sets the rules for buying, selling and offering financial instruments in Norway, including requirements for fair disclosure, market conduct and investor protection. For investors it matters because it helps ensure companies and intermediaries provide accurate information and prevents abusive trading, much like traffic laws make driving safer and predictable so people can trust the market and make informed decisions.
