The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) is poised to become one of the most attractive capital markets in the region and given that situation the CSE is now in the process of organizing a series of road shows in other countries , CSE's Head of Research and New Products Nishantha Hewavithana said.
"At present CSE net foreign flow from the beginning of this year to last Friday recorded Rs 2.3 billion, which was just Rs. 2.3 billion for the year 2016 and also showed negative growth in 2015, Hewavithana told The Island Financial Review.
Currently, a road show is happening in Australia and there will be a series of road shows organised to attract foreign investors into the market, he said.
"The total foreign investor contribution to market turnover recorded 42.5%, compared to 34.4% in 2015, while recording a total net foreign flow of Rs. 633.5 million last year compared to the Rs. 5.4 billion in foreign outflow in 2015, he said. "Although both indices in 2016 have been negative, we have seen that there is a foreign net inflow this year. This means that foreigners are still selectively looking at stocks, which I feel provides a good opportunity for the accumulation of stocks because it offers good value right now. I think investors should really make use of this opportunity, Hevawithana added.
"The future potential is huge with many companies in both the state and private sectors waiting for the right time to enter the market, CSE chairman, Vajira Kulathilaka said.
"That is the time they will reach the capital market and that is the time you will really see the capital markets surging, the CSE chairman added.
