Three Bourses To Lead Pakistan Capital Markets Conference

Date 28/06/2013

Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) has scheduled to hold Pakistan Capital Markets Conference in collaboration with Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and Islamabad Stock Exchange (ISE) on Wednesday dated July 03, 2013 at Hotel Marriott, Islamabad. The Federal Minister for Planning and Development Mr. Ahsan Iqbal has expressed his consent as the Chief Guest at the conference.

The conference is being organized to help prepare a roadmap for the market based development agenda in support of the economic growth objectives of the newly established government. The idea behind the conference is that since the new Government is inclined to spur a culture of widespread investments and to introduce broad-based economic growth policies in the country, therefore the domestic capital market industry also needs to prepare its vision to supplement the emerging economic priorities of the new government.

The program of the conference has been drafted in such a manner that the conference would receive inputs from the economists, market regulators and academicians etc, and would recommend practicable policy level interventions for the government so that the market can play its due role in the social and economic development of the country. The conference would specifically focus on some of the key industry sectors/economic areas in which our markets can be useful for infusing growth, such as the Privatization and secondary offerings via Capital Markets, Infrastructure & Debt Financing through the Market, the Use of Capital Market Eco-System for the Modernization of Agriculture, Energy & Housing Markets, and Promoting Corporate Governance & Democracy etc.

The Lahore Stock Exchange passionately looks forward to the conference as the first step towards developing the capital markets in line with the goals and objectives set by the new government. The conference invites prominent speakers from diverse backgrounds to layout the frame work covering all aspects in assisting the capital markets growth in the days to come.
