What are listing requirements?

Listing requirements are the rules that tell you how to join a club so everyone can play fair.

Imagine you're trying to get into a cool playground game called "The Big Club." To be in this club, there are some simple rules:

  • You need to be at least 6 years old (age requirement)
  • You have to bring your own toy to share with others (toy rule)
  • You can't shout too loudly or you might get kicked out (behavior rule)

These are like listing requirements for a real-life club, and in the grown-up world, they’re what companies need to follow to join a stock market.

What Do These Rules Look Like?

In the real world, if a company wants to be on the stock market (like a playground where people buy and sell pieces of the company), it needs to meet certain listing requirements, just like you need to bring your toy.

  • They might have to show they're doing well financially
  • They might need to share their plans with everyone
  • They might have to keep their promises or face being kicked out

It's not magic, it’s just fair play!
