“The FMA aims to make financial markets fair and easy for everyone”

The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has an important job. Its main goal is to help create fair financial markets. This means markets where everyone is treated equally and has the same chances. The FMA also wants to make sure these markets work well and are easy to understand. When financial markets are fair, efficient, and clear, it’s better for everyone who uses them. The FMA works to encourage and support the growth of these good qualities in New Zealand’s financial markets.
