The SECP expects that the recommendations put forth by the group will pave the way for a fair, efficient and modern capital market, which will restore investor confidence in domestic markets.

They include SECP’s Securities Market Division Commissioner Akif Saeed, SECP’s Executive Director Musarat Jabeen, Arif Habib Group Chairman Arif Habib and AKD Group Chairman Aqeel Karim Dhedhi.
