The Listing Requirements are set by the stock exchanges themselves but do vary among them. The many conditions and minimum standards established by stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are known as listing requirements. These are the things that corporations must fulfil in order to list their shares for trade.Although each exchange has its own specific requirements, they all have the same basic conditions for being listed. The minimum amount of capitalization or market value necessary to have a publicly traded company's stock listed on an exchange is known as the par value of the stock.
