Explanation:
Competition, Regulation, Supervision

The biggest threat to the official exchanges comes from the growing number of shares that are traded privately, and the scant oversight of this trade. In Slovakia, for example, over 90% of all share transactions are conducted off the exchanges. The Prague stock exchange's record is not much better. Ceska Sporitelna, the big Czech savings bank, reckons that where 39% of Czech shares are traded on the Prague exchange, 60% are dealt elsewhere. (Other observers put this figure even higher, at 80 or 90 percent.) When Lithuania tried to stop such deals, trading in all shares came to a virtual halt as fears of heavy-handed government regulation were reawakened. One near term goal of Hungary's SSEC is to bring the country's off-market trading under its umbrella; indeed, it wants all exchanges to be regulated by the same law, whether they trade in goods, securities, or futures.

Here is the specific definition.

What do you mean by \'Market Trades\' and \'Off Market Trades\'?

Any trade done and settled through a clearing corporation is termed as the \'Market Trade\'. The trades are done through stock brokers on a stock exchange. The \'Off Market Trade\' is one which is settled directly between two parties without the involvement of stock exchange or broker.

In other words, when trade or commerce is done outside of the context of the stock exchange or broker. The settlement is determined directly between the two parties (such as the seller and the buyer).

I hope this helps.

neutral  Robert Donahue (X): Wouldn't the long and (preferably) short of this be "private"? As in a two party transaction. Some of your links are neither pertinent nor do they work.

neutral  juvera: Robert is right. They should have said simply "private sale" (oops, I hit send!) or "not on the open market", in other words not advertised.

away from the market, not near the market


Explanation:
In words like offshore, off-peak, off-stage, etc., the "off" means away. So probably here what is meant is that this hotel is situated away from the market. That is, it not near the market.

neutral  Robert Donahue (X): Here, I am reasonably certain and as Doctor Powers states somewhere in the middle of his answer, it's referring to a private transaction conducted without use of a broker. "Off" doesn't mean physical location in this instance.
