Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) Chairman Akif Saeed on Thursday demonstrated Pakistan’s progressive regulatory framework as the catalyst driving capital formation, optimal resource allocation, and strengthened investor confidence during a panel at the Invest Sri Lanka Capital Market Investment Forum 2025 in Colombo.
Participating in the “Navigating Frontier Capital Markets” session as the head of Pakistan’s capital market delegation, he highlighted the SECP’s transformative reforms, positioning the country’s resilient capital markets as South Asia’s rising investment destination.
The event, spanning March 27-28, serves as a platform for high-impact engagements, with Pakistan’s delegation holding strategic discussions with senior representatives from Sri Lanka’s Securities and Exchange Commission and leading capital market institutions.
A landmark achievement is the signing of a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding between the Pakistan Stock Exchange, Colombo Stock Exchange, and Dhaka Stock Exchange. The agreement aims to deepen regional collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and cross-border investment opportunities.
The SECP’s participation in the forum underscored its pivotal role in advancing frontier markets through strategic international partnerships. By fostering connectivity between South Asia’s key financial hubs, the SECP continues to position Pakistan’s capital markets as dynamic, transparent, and increasingly attractive for global investors.
The SECP remains committed to advancing such initiatives that elevate Pakistan’s financial ecosystem while creating value for investors worldwide.
