Summary: The Spanish Securities Exchange Comission (hereinafter, CNMV) is the compe- tent authority responsible for the supervision of the securities markets in Spain. In this regard, the CNMV is in charge of the surveillance and the inspection of the Spanish securities markets and of the activities of market participants. The role of the CNMV, as provided by the Securities Market Act (hereinafter, LMV), is to ensure the transparency of the financial markets, the proper price formation and the investor’s protection. In exercising its powers, the CNMV is focused on regulatory, authorization, infor- mation disclosure and supervision activities. Likewise, it is entitled to impose sanc- tions in case any provision of markets regulation is infringed. The final goal of the CNMV is to guarantee the correct functioning of the mar- kets, thereby maintaining investor’s confidence. The purpose of the institution is to achieve the highest investor’s protection without hindering the critical function of the capital markets, as channels of financial flows to productive investment. The CNMV faces major challenges coming from an extremely dynamic environ- ment, a request to increase coordination among international supervisors and the need of encouraging capital markets as a source of economy financing.
