He termed the stock market as a barometer to evaluate the economy of any country. The economic decisions have immediate impact on the stock markets which is indicated by the bullish or bearish impacts (boom & recession). He said that due to the prudent polices of the government, the industrial and economic activities are gaining momentum in the country and in order to meet the financial needs of new and existing business entities, the development of capital market is of prime importance.
He appreciated the management of CDC for holding seminars for the awareness of the investors and said that the organisation of Pakistan Capital Market Expo in Faisalabad is a positive step to sensitise the potential investors and in order to cater to the needs of local industry for its future expansion.
He told that it is very encouraging that CDC is the only share depository company of Pakistan that can run all the shares traded in the stock market under one window. He further told that this expo will provide a profitable opportunity to the business community to invest in the share market and earn reasonable profit from their investment.
