State Minister Nivard Cabraal last week requested the capital market regulator and promoter to expedite the demutualisation of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) pending for many years.
Cabraal emphasised the urgency during a meeting with the officials of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the CSE.
At the meeting the progress of the new SEC Act as well as demutualisation of the CSE came under review, apart from an assessment of the status of the Colombo stock market.
