DESCRIPTION:

A strong and effective financial market is indispensable for the health and vitality of Pakistan's economy. From our national perspective an efficient financial market should: 1) Ensure that scarce resources are allocated to the most productive investments yielding the highest returns for given-levels of risk; 2) Facilitate the flow of funds from the suppliers of funds to users of funds at a minimum service cost; 3) Be accessible to a larger number of suppliers and users of funds; 4) Provide a wide range of instruments offering a continuum of risk-return combinations and maturities; 5) Ensure that various instruments offer a fair return and are correctly priced; and 6) Finally, effectively garner the savings in the country for economic development and growth.
