SECP proposes amendments to NBFC&NE regulations

ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has proposed amendments to the non-banking finance companies and notified entities’ regulations, seeking to safeguard the interests of shareholders, according to a statement on Thursday.

The proposed amendments pertain to Regulation 65 of the non-banking finance companies and notified entities’ regulations (NBFC&NE Regulations), 2008, it said.

The SECP seeks comments and feedback from stakeholders on proposed amendments by November 19.

The SRO of November 5, 2012, has been placed on the SECP’s website for public information, and comments, according to a statement.

The commission said that the comments and feedbacks may be submitted at comments.nbfcregulations@secp.gov.pk. These amendments have been proposed primarily to ensure smooth implementation of Regulation 65, which in case of the most CEFs has empowered the share / certificate holders to decide whether to convert these CEF into an open-end scheme or revoke it, it said.

The proposed amendments are in line with the best international practices and are expected to strengthen the existing regulatory framework in the larger interest of the NBC sector and for better investors’ protection.
