Investors not interested in who’s SEC Chief - Cabraal
Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal said investors were not interested as to who was the Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman when they invest in the stock market.
“There is an influx of Rs.29 billion in foreign exchange in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) from foreign investors,” he said. “Sale of the shares is one of the several functions of the stock market.The shares available in our stock market are reliable and investors are aware of this. That is why they are investing in a large scale. They are not concerned about the individuals holding office in the SEC.”
Mr. Cabraal said some took minor issues seriously because shortcomings could be corrected if we looked at these issues with an open mind. (Shamila Perera)

Issue is stealing/pump and dump/money laundering
Open mind = willing to take a bribe or look the other way

I really do have a good laugh at the same old garbage Cabraal always put out , not so much the rose tinted glasses more like heads in the sand, and I often wonder what planet he is on.
How this man that deny the reality of a situation can remain in the position he hold is a constant mystery to me.1 38

Surely Investors are not interested in who's SEC Chief, but only concerned about the fraudulent malpractices committed in SEC.

This man, Cabraal is seriously undermining the entire accounting profession. I hope the ICASL throws this guy out of membership soon.

Do not try to sweep issues under the carpet. Obviously Cabraal is a lackey of the government and the President and is bound to say such things. It is not about who is the chief of the SEC but about crisis in integrity, when people of good caliber resign, twice over.

Mr.Cabral, you have already show your performance to the country. Billions of public funds have lost to the country due to lack of your professionalism in the banking field. But still you are holding your position without any trouble because, you are a political appointee. Since you have only academic qualifications you have no moral right to make such statement about the SEC.

Mr Cabraal, you suffer from Foot & Mouth disease - every time you open your mouth, you put your foot in, whether as CB chief or as plain "accountant Cabraal", You have overseen mass malpractices during your tenure and scared off involvement from qualified professionals too?

The best thing is to appoint the former Chairman of the National Savings bank as the Chairman of the SEC.

You are correct, 99% of investors are not interested, only 1%, but who can influence (probably) over 50% of the transactions. (percentages are merely my assumptions)

If this was an independent institution as it is supposed to be, investors will not care who the head is. But when a person who has done the right thing is forced to leave it affects the credibility of the institution and the whole country.

Of course. Nobody can deny finance ministry the right to appoint any old corrupt stooge so that the mafia can freely loot the investing public.
