SEC launches capital markets’ education book
View(s):The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) recently launched a book titled “Ayojanayata Mulapuramu” with a view to enhancing the knowledge on investing in the capital market of Sri Lanka recently.
The book launch was held on February 13 at the SEC auditorium under the patronage of Dr. Sarath Amunugama, Senior Minister of International Monetary Cooperation and Deputy Minister of Finance.
“The SEC has a dual mandate of regulating and developing the capital market of Sri Lanka and this publication will undoubtedly give impetus towards developing the capital market.
There has been a significant increase in domestic investor participation with the growth of the capital market and we are of the view that this book will assist investors to obtain a proper understanding of the various aspects of investing in the capital market,” the SEC said in a media release.
It said this publication includes practical and useful topics i.e. factors to be considered before investing in the stock market, step by step process of investing in stocks and unit trusts, common mistakes made by investors when investing in the capital market and how to select stocks.
At present there is a dearth of books written in Sinhala for investors on investing in the capital market and this prompted the SEC to publish ‘Ayojanayata Mulapuramu’ based on the article series published in the Lankadeepa Newspaper, it said, adding that the book is written by the Assistant Director, External Relations and Market Development of the SEC Tushara Jayaratne.
