ISLAMABAD, Aug 27 (APP):As part of its inclusive and transparent legislative process, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on Wednesday concluded the stakeholder consultation sessions on proposed amendments to Private Fund Regulations, 2015.
The sessions aimed at creating awareness about proposed revisions to the Private Fund Regulations, 2015, and served as a platform for discussion and collaboration between the regulator and the industry, said a news release.
The sessions were attended by industry representatives, fund managers, multilateral donor agencies, legal advisors, and other stakeholders.
