Jamaica’s equities regulator, the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), said it is satisfied with the state of market compliance with its rules by Member Dealers and Listed Companies.

This is based on the latest data as at the end of January 2025. However, there is one exception to the clean market compliance—the timely filing of Audited and Annual Reports by Listed Companies and Member Dealers. The JSE said its stakeholders are reviewing this issue. 

In accordance with JSE Rule 209 (A), Member Dealers are required to file Monthly Returns for the period ended December 31, 2024, by January 31, 2025. However, for the reporting period, 14 Monthly Returns fell due and were submitted on time. 

In accordance with JSE Rule 209 (B), Member Dealers are required to file Quarterly Returns for the period ended December 31, 2024, by January 31, 2025, but for the reporting period, 13 Monthly Returns fell due and were submitted on time. 

Under JSE Rule 209 (C), Member Dealers with financial year ending October 31, 2024, were required to file their Annual Returns by January 31, 2025, but for the reporting period, two Annual Returns fell due and were submitted on time. 

The aggregate compliance rate for Member Dealers’ filing of financial returns due for January 2025 was 100%. For the 2024 comparative period, Member Dealers’ aggregate compliance rate was 97%.
