The Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission (TTSEC) along with the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Centre (CARTAC) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (USSEC) hosted a regional workshop titled “Market oversight in the Caribbean” at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad from March 10th- 12th 2010. The Conference was designed to be a forum for the exchange of best practices in the development and regulation of capital markets presented through a series of lectures, roundtables and case studies. Senior experts from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shared their insights on capital market development, enforcement, and examination of market participants. The program also explored responses to crisis and market abuses, provided observations comparing and contrasting approaches by regulatory systems around the world, and highlighted international best practices. The presenters used real-world examples of market abuse and inefficiencies to explore the regulatory, statutory, and other tools capital market regulators need to address these challenges.
