Pörssiryhmä

Pörssiryhmä is a regulatory group that oversees the listing of companies on the Nordic stock exchanges, including the Helsinki Stock Exchange in Finland. The group is responsible for maintaining the quality and listing standards of the companies listed on the exchange.

The pörssiryhmä was established in 1996 as a result of the integration of the Helsinki Stock Exchange and the other Nordic stock exchanges. The group's primary goal is to ensure that the listed companies meet the necessary listing requirements and continue to meet the required standards during their listing period.

To be listed on a Nordic stock exchange, a company must meet the pörssiryhmä's requirements, which include maintaining a minimum market capitalization, adhering to corporate governance principles, and disclosing financial information in a timely and transparent manner. The group also reviews the listing of new companies and ensures that the listed companies comply with regulations and listing rules.

The pörssiryhmä's decisions are guided by the principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity. The group operates independently of the stock exchanges and is responsible for developing and enforcing the listing rules. The pörssiryhmä also provides guidance to companies on the listing process and offers advice on how to meet the required listings standards.

The group's work is overseen by the Nordic regulators, who work together to ensure that the listing standards are consistent across the Nordic region. The pörssiryhmä plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nordic stock exchanges and ensuring that companies meet the necessary requirements to be listed.
