The law will be changed to regulate demutualized stock exchanges, central depositories and central counterparties.

Sri Lanka's Colombo Stock Exchange is now a member owned entity owned by several founder brokers but plans are underway to 'demutualize' it and make it into a limited liability company.

A central counterparty is to be set up to clear transactions and prevent broker failures from triggering cascading settlement failures.

Sugathadasa said SEC was planning "civil sanctions and administrative sanctions to deal with capital market offenders and the introduction of provisions that will provide for restitution for investors."

The SEC was also planning to license a derivative and commodities exchange and introduce rules for auditors in respect of capital market offenses.
