The Finance Ministry will meet the representatives of leading domestic stock exchanges today as part of its ongoing efforts to improve liquidity in the secondary markets and facilitate the creation of dedicated SME platforms.

This is the second meeting that has been convened in less than a month, raising expectation that the Government would initiate steps to improve governance and ownership norms in bourses.

The Finance Ministry is yet to firm up its views on the Bimal Jalan committee report, which had created strong divergent views among stakeholders. This committee had gone into the ownership and governance issues of market infrastructure institutions including stock exchanges.
