South Asian Securities Regulators' Forum
On the initiative of SAFE, in its fifth AGM held in May 2005 in Islamabad, South Asian Securities Regulators’ Forum was established. Prime objective for the establishment of the said forum was to attain support of the regional securities regulators for the developmental projects of SAFE, particularly, for the projects like encouraging cross border listing and trading in the region.
In May 2005, the Prime Minister of Pakistan chaired the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the securities regulatory bodies of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Mauritius, Nepal and Pakistan. The MoU established a voluntary and cooperative body, the SASRF, for increasing mutual cooperation and exchange of information among the member countries.
Mr. Shaukat Aziz, the Prime Minister of Pakistan along with the Regional Securities Regulators at the SASRF MoU Signing Ceremony. Mr. Omar Ayub Khan, Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Tariq Hassan, Ex-Chairman SECP are also present.
The first meeting of the SASRF was subsequently held in Islamabad at that time. During the meeting, Dr. Tariq Hassan, Chairman of the Commission and Mr. Deepak Raj Kaflé, Chairman of the Securities Board Nepal were elected as the chair and vice-chair of the SASRF, respectively.
