Demutualisation of the Colombo Stock Exchange-Transitioning the CSE into a company limited by shares to separate ownership and trading rights, improve governance, attract strategic investors, and enhance transparency.
2. Development of the Corporate Debt Market - Strengthening regulation and infrastructure for debt issuance to provide alternatives to bank financing and create long-term instruments for institutional investors.
3. Introduction of New Products - Expanding the product suite to include infrastructure bonds, perpetual bonds, sukuk, and GSS+ bonds (green, blue, social and sustainability-linked).
