A Message from the CEO of the T&T Stock Exchange Ltd Eva Mitchell
The Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange welcomes the new Corporate Governance Code as integral to the development of capital markets. Stock exchanges ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct through the public trading of securities and price discovery. Effective Corporate Governance (when codes such as this are adopted and implemented by market participants) supports the functioning of a world-class stock exchange. There are clear areas of shared interest between exchanges and investors and good corporate governance by market participants provides the bridge between these shared interests. Areas of shared interest include sustainable value creation as the public listing of companies contributes to the growth of companies, as users of capital, and investors, as providers of capital. When adopted by corporations, the new Corporate Governance Code will enhance long term investor confidence, engender a culture of compliance and encourage stakeholder engagement. We expect that continued improvement in governance and business practices will support growth of the economy of Trinidad and Tobago.
