Statement of Substance and Purpose - Proposed Amendment to TTSE Rule 224 Trading Sessions

The Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange (TTSE) proposes amending Rule 224 to replace fixed trading hours with a flexible system allowing the Exchange to prescribe and publish operational times via its website. This regulatory change aims to address declining trade volumes and limited retail participation by enabling extended and more accommodating trading hours comparable to regional peers. The proposal includes specific notice requirements for permanent alterations and interruptions to ensure transparency while mitigating market, liquidity, operational, and regulatory risks.
