Väärtpaberiregistri

Väärtpaberiregister is an Estonian term that translates to "securities register" or "register of securities." It is a centralized database that holds information about ownership and details of securities issued within Estonia. This register is crucial for maintaining transparency and order in the financial markets.

The primary purpose of a väärtpaberiregister is to record who owns which securities, such as shares or bonds. It details the type of security, the issuing company or entity, the number of securities held, and the identity of the registered holder. This information is vital for ensuring that corporate actions, like dividend payments or voting rights, are distributed correctly to the rightful owners.

In Estonia, the väärtpaberiregister is typically managed by a central securities depository or a similar authorized entity. This ensures the integrity and accuracy of the data. Investors, issuers, and regulatory bodies rely on the väärtpaberiregister for accurate and up-to-date information, facilitating smooth trading, settlement, and corporate governance. It plays a key role in preventing fraud and ensuring the overall stability of the Estonian financial system.
