Qatar Holding LLC is interested to acquire a stake in Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), Kalpitiya Tourism Zone (KTZ), Colombo Commercial Property (CCP), and a host of sites in the South for hotel projects, according to official sources. A preparatory team is in Colombo and a group of six including the Deputy CEO of the Qatari Exchange had initial talks at a joint meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the CSE on January 12, 2012 and a separate meeting with the SEC on January 13, a source close to the talks told the Business Times on January 14. The source said the Qatar Holdings will do a feasibility study of the CSE in an effort to invest in a 'sizeable' stake. “But the CSE has to be demutualised and made into a public limited company which is now being fast-tracked. The team wanted to know about the demutualization, about CSE's IT platform, details on the transaction settlement time, legal framework, etc,” the source said.
At the board meeting held on June 14, 2011 Mr. Krishan Balendra was elected as chairman of the Colombo Stock Exchange succeeding Mr. Nihal Fonseka who will continue to be a director.
