The ZSE’s data processing and dissemination systems are in a state of transition from a largely manual based process to one that will be electronic.
Through the ZSE Data Portal we expect grow a responsible and secure platform through which a purely electronic means of delivering and disseminating of corporate announcements and shareholder proxy voting material can be made. Legislation will need to be changed to permit this in future, but inculcating a culture of using electronic communication, in lines with best international practices early on, is the best way to enable rapid uptake when the legislative environment is accommodating. The benefits are lower costs, more efficient communication and more informed investment.
