Answers for governments, institutions, and participants.

The International Exchange Trade Board (IETB) is an organization dedicated to helping nations design, build, and operate national stock exchanges and the market infrastructure behind them — exchange, clearing, settlement, custody, protocol, and oversight — governed under local law and connected to global capital.

No. The model is built around a defined path to the nation owning and controlling its own market infrastructure. The objective is a market a country runs, not one it rents.

No. IETB is focused on regulated capital markets infrastructure — exchanges, clearing, settlement, and custody for conventional securities and instruments.

Engagements follow a phased model — Assess, Design, Build, and Launch & Sustain — each gated on the one before it. It begins with a feasibility assessment of the national economy, legal framework, and market readiness. See How We Build an Exchange.

Sovereignty safeguards are designed into every engagement: national ownership, data sovereignty under local law, capability transfer to national institutions, local-law-first design, and regulatory independence for oversight.

Timelines depend on the nation's starting point, legal framework, and scope. Each phase produces a decision point at which the nation chooses whether and how to proceed, protecting sequencing and budget.

The framework is designed for governments, ministries, regulators, exchanges, banks, custodians, broker-dealers, issuers, institutional investors, and service providers — through approved, role-based access.

Approved organizations can complete the Request Access questionnaire. Submissions are reviewed by the IETB engagement office. Access and participation may be subject to jurisdictional approval, regulatory authorization, and eligibility review.
