TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
STOCK EXCHANGE
• The Securities Market which informally existed in Trinidad &
Tobago for well over twenty years prior to the opening of the
Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange really achieved significance in
the early 1970's when Government decided to localise the foreign
owned commercial banking and manufacturing sectors of the
economy to get such companies to divest and sell a majority of
their shares to nationals.
• Two bodies chosen for this were the Capital Issues Committee, to
direct developments in the primary market and the Call Exchange
(an association of share dealers) to monitor activities in the
secondary market.
• In the early 1970's there was rapid establishment of
private institutions such as trust companies and
stock broking firms to satisfy the demands of
investors in both the primary and secondary
markets.
