Jama Punji Web Portal; e-Government Initiative Taken by SECP

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) while recognizing the importance of investor education has launched an investor education program called ‘Jamapunji’. The need for this initiative was felt by the organization as there is fundamental deficiency of knowledge and understanding of the financial market by general public. Lack of financial literacy and capability makes general public vulnerable to frauds. 

Federal Minister for Finance, Mr. Ishaq Dar, inaugurated the Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s (SECP) Jama Punji- the investor education web portal. The idea behind the creation of ‘Jamapunji’ is to train the general public with skills and knowledge in order to take financial decisions wisely. Jamapunji, has been established as a subsidiary of the SECP. The web portal “Jama Punji” aims to convey knowledge of financial markets and products to different fundamental segments of the society. The Minister Ishaq Dar welcomed the efforts of Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and hoped that the web portal will educate people regarding the investment trends. he also said that:

On this occasion, Zafar ul Haq Hijazi, Chairman SECP said that:
