This is hypothetical. This is what I would do if I am appointed as the Director General of the SEC.

a) All regulations relating to Credit will be removed and will be replaced with a comprehensive list of rules similar to regulation applicable to Finance Companies, Banks and Insurance Companies. This would be carried out by way of an act of Parliament instead of a SEC regulation.
b) Allow and encourage mergers and amalgamation of stock brokering companies. This way small sized brokering companies can be eliminated.
c) Carryout the demutualization and list the Colombo Stock Exchange Ltd on the CSE.
d) Set up a separate rescue fund to reduce the risk of default of payment by any stock brokering company. Settlement risk is one of the biggest risk currently prevalent in the Colombo Stock Exchange.
e) Provide special license to Research Companies and prevent Stock Brokers from providing substandard Research materials to the market.
f) Reduce Brokerage, SEC and CSE fees. and make it transactional basis instead of value based.
g) Introduce short selling.
h) List foreign companies in Sri Lankan Stock Market. (Initially Maldives then India), Set up a new exchange for this purpose.
i) Increase the capital requirement for the stock brokering companies.
j) De-list companies that has less than 25% free float.
k) Mandatory offers would be limited to 75%.
l) Grant 10 new stock brokering licenses. These licenses will be limited to foreign business. These brokers would not be allowed to carry out local business. These brokering companies would be required to setup a minimum of 3 overseas branches.
m) Allow companies to obtain listing via online.

Please feel free to express your views. This will surely help us to guide the new Director General.

What about investigating, catching and severely punishing the big players who are doing pump and dump and other market manipulations? Safe guarding the money of investors? Aren't they the first priority of the market regulator / market guardian?
Also the market regulator should be independent and not controlled or influenced or appointed by the big market manipulators or dishonest brokers.

Looks good but something conspicuously missing is how to negate the pressure exerted by external entities with other vested interests to influence the Market to their liking.

- And the government should reduce the taxes on dividends.

Quibit,
This is an excellent post with progressive suggestions.

Could you please give reasons for your suggestions (g) and (h). Perhaps such steps should be taken after most of the other suggestions have been implemented ?

I think there should more stringent controls / rules pertaining to the approval of IPOs, and so called 'introductions', private placements, etc.
Information such as feasibility reports/forecasts set out in Prospectuses to be reviewed by a panel of experts.. (yes there are reports, but when you read the qualifications / assumptions .. one wonders ...).
Basically the SEC must ensure that the investors are not taken for ride !

I hope some knowledgeable individuals will come up some ideas on what steps the DG must take to
a) deal with market manipulations and insider dealing.
b) restore confidence (specifically, of foreign investors) in the SL Stock market.

Just to add a point, the past regulators (now no more) did reject some IPOs / introductions after questioning their reports not stating the truth or not complying the standards. This was mentioned in an old news item. But the SEC cannot control the price you pay for junk. Look at the market in the last few days. In the future it seems those rules will be ignored when nadu and badu both could be owned by the same *big players*.

Need a period of observation, it is difficult to jump in to any conclusions without knowing what is next…..it is a very uncertain inconsistent period for CSE….

Will it help to control the transactions of the directors & or their kin (by limiting to a certain %) or disclose to the public that a director has placed a buy/ sell order?
