‘s stock exchange: Few people control it & few people rig it, says President
President Ranil Wickremesinghe says that he has questions about putting shares of the state-owned enterprises onto the current Stock Exchange.
“What is the platform for restructuring? Many of you say, send it to the Stock Exchange.
I have my questions about it. The Stock Exchange is today identified not with the London Stock Exchange,” Wickremesinghe pointed out.
“There are many questions about the Stock Exchange that a few people control it and a few people rig it. Now can I put any state enterprise shares onto that to help a few people?”
He was delivering the keynote speech at the ReformNow Conference organized by the Advocata Institute.
“Either you all must change or we put up a new institution. I don’t want any more arguments on that. If you have to use the present Stock Exchange, we must all be satisfied that it is neutral and is benefit all.”
