Description: Australia has one of the broadest prohibitions of insider trading in financial products in the world. The Advisory Committee has reviewed the insider trading provisions in the light of experience since their current structure was formulated in 1991. The Committee has identified a number of respects in which those laws could be strengthened and clarified in order to better achieve their objective. The Committee has also identified potentially serious problems that stem from the marked expansion in 2002 of the markets and products to which the insider trading prohibition applies, and puts forward proposals to tailor the prohibition better to the circumstances of those markets.
