Sri Lanka’s Securities and Exchange Commission is likely to allow brokers to extend credit up to a limit of Rs. 2 million or probably a figure around that to help small investors in the CSE.

This is in response to a proposal forwarded by the Stock Brokers to the regulators asking for a reconsideration of the ongoing ban on margin trading.

A person closely working on the evaluation of the proposal forwarded by the brokers told News360.lk, “We are considering a limit of Rs 2 million or a figure around that to help small investors”.

However he said a final decision in this regard is yet to be made as there is opposition from certain segments of the industry who are not in favor of the SEC moves to relax the rule.

Meanwhile the Director General of the SEC Malik Cader speaking to News360.lk too confirmed that they are looking at relaxing the margin trading rule to help small time investors.

One of brokers said two of top class brokering firms stand up to avoid these credit limits.

They are maintaining HNWIs' accounts.

Relaxation within limits. …..Ending force selling itself gives room for CSE to grow slowly…….. Investors return to a growing market……. Those benefits given when used as investments rater than for speculations would help market grow step by step. hope...when there is longer period to settle they do not misuse....Benefits given need to be used by retailers judiciously within limitations. ....all those benefits are to encourage investments... and to attract medium term investors...

The market regulator will have its routine (every two weeks) Commission
meeting today, and Mirror Business learns that the proposals put
forward by the Colombo Stock Brokers Association will be taken into
consideration during the session.
In their letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, they have
requested the removal of T+5 forced selling rule and to allow all
brokers to lend their net capital which is in excess of minimum net
capital requirement of Rs. 35 million.
They also had requested to allow all brokers to transfer the excess net
capital in the broking company to the wholly owned margin trading
company, licensed and regulated by the SEC, without deducting from the
net capital.
Brokers also noted that to the best of their knowledge, most brokering
firms presently have proper systems and procedures in place to monitor
debtors and had expressed glimpse of hope for a favorable decision
speedily, to avert a continuous decline in the market.

2 Broker firms are JKSB and CT Smith. It's look like they hate retailers.

Look guys, I'm pretty sure its going to be positive news. Mr. Malik Cader has already indicated that they would "look favorably" at the proposal put forward by the stock brokers association.

Is there any broker company without a proper approval?

Some people think broker firms with lot of HNWIs have all the power to regulate the market.Some are anxiously waiting for market to get crashed so they can do bargain hunting.
