The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given the green light to a new regulatory framework aimed at streamlining the issuance and listing of Infrastructure Bonds on the Colombo Stock Exchange.

This move is expected to bolster the infrastructure development sector by providing an additional avenue for financing projects.

The regulatory framework is designed to ensure transparency and compliance with market standards. Infrastructure Bonds are financial instruments that enable investors to contribute to the funding of critical infrastructure projects while enjoying returns through fixed interest payments.
