Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Ken Ofori- Atta, the Minister for Finance, has launched a five-year strategic plan for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The strategy, which starts from 2023 has five goals and 60 initiatives in line with the vision of making the Commission a top-tier securities market regulator in Africa.<\/p>\n

The strategy is to deepen and expand markets, enhance market awareness and education, build capacity and capability of SEC, strengthen market infrastructure, and develop a robust legal and regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

The plan was launched at the SEC\u2019s Ghana Capital Market Conference, which formed part of activities to mark the 25th anniversary of the Commission.<\/p>\n

The theme for the event was, \u201cDeepening and Diversifying Ghana\u2019s Capital Market Towards a more Resilient Financial System\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Ofori-Atta said for a sector that contributed to about 14 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and impacted about 10 million of the country\u2019s population, there was the need to ensure that the sector had more positive impact on the economy.<\/p>\n

He said government was committed to deploying targeted policies initiatives to diversify the investor base, reduce external dependency and broaden market participation within the sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong some of these initiatives is the development of the framework for domestic credit rating agencies, which will provide impartial assessment of companies and securities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reverend Ogbarmey Tetteh, the Director-General of SEC, said the fast-changing financial landscape presented unique challenges to stakeholders of the capital market.<\/p>\n

The situation, he noted, demanded the country\u2019s financial markets to \u201cevolve, innovate and develop versatile investment products\u201d.<\/p>\n

From the regulator perspective, he said SEC had over the last five years introduced 22 guidelines to ensure a more robust and resilient capital market.<\/p>\n

\u201cSEC is poised to churn out a series of new guidelines that support the deepening and diversification of the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe forthcoming Guidelines on Crowdfunding, Green bonds, Financial Resources, Market Making, Margin Trading, Securities Lending, Borrowing, and Asset-Backed Securities will contribute to strengthening the market\u2019s resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Commission had started the implementation of a Risk-Based Supervision framework, which was a migrate from the compliance-based supervision mode of operators.<\/p>\n

SEC was established in September 1998 and had its name changed from the Securities Regulatory Commission to the Securities and Exchange Commission through a parliamentary decree in 2000 (Act 590).<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the enactment of the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929), expanded the SEC\u2019s powers, thereby replacing the previous Securities Industry Law, 1993 (PNDCL 333).<\/p>\n
