The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) Wednesday organized an awareness session here at a local hotel to provide the journalists an overview of its working.
In the well-attended workshop, presentation were made by the senior officers of SECP to sensitize the journalists on important areas such as the reforms introduced in company registration and compliance, mutual funds, Modarabas, investment banking and leasing, operational structure of the stock exchanges, Central Depository Company (CDC), National Clearing Company of Pakistan (NCCP).
The participants were also briefed on the reforms undertaken by the apex regulator over the past years and the SECP’s future market reform agenda.
Shakil Chaudhary, head of SECP’s Media and Corporate Communications Department, said the journalists could aptly interpret and comment on the government’s policies and performance if they were fully conversant with the functioning of the various government departments.
He said this workshop was organized to bridge a longstanding communication gap between the SECP and the media.
