The MD of the LSE has further stated that the news item published in some section of the press giving impression that LSE, somehow, has reservations on the draft Securities Act is absolutely incorrect and baseless. He stated that the only recommendation to be highlighted in the news item published today, was the continued inclusion of one sub-clause of the S&EO 1969, in the new Securities Act. The Lahore Stock Exchange, its brokers community are in complete support and for the immediate promulgation of the Securities Act.
The MD of the LSE has also underlined that LSE has always been in the forefront for welcoming the new regulatory initiatives of SECP, and would be keen to implement the new Securities Act in letter and spirit.
