Bill: SSD-15 "Stock Exchange Act"
Details
Submitted by[?]: Fatherland Front
Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: December 4295
Description[?]:
| Stock exchanges are not like other businesses. The performance of national stock exchanges is often taken as a proxy for the health of a nation's economy, or at least investor enthusiasm for the country's prospects. National exchanges also play an under-appreciated policy role in deciding the listing and compliance standards for companies that wish to go public. Of course, the trading and investment world is not just all about stocks. Derivatives are very lucrative to exchanges. Running an exchange is a great business; it is effectively a monopoly. Those who own exchanges can require companies to pay listing fees, traders to pay for market access and investors to pay transaction fees. It is not altogether surprising, then, that there is so much activity in this space. The Fatherland Front as such proposes we nationalize the Malivian stock exchange. Who is better than the state to manage such huge amounts of money both in revenue and in state of flux through the market? |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
