ISLAMABAD – The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has launched an initiative for increasing the investors confidence.

SECP in collaboration with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has launched its annual World Investor Week (WIW) which will continue till October 7.

Being an IOSCO member, the SECP participated in WIW 2017 by carrying out activities with professional bodies, entrepreneurs, corporate bodies and students. Once again, the SECP is geared to conduct investor awareness sessions for audiences ranging from the youth to professionals from various walks of life in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Gilgit, Skardu and Khuzdar.

A key objective of the WIW is to highlight the importance of investor education and protection, and to foster learning opportunities for investors, given today´s rapidly changing environment of online and technological innovations. The SECP will leverage the events to organize further investor education activities throughout the year.
