MoU signed between Institute of Capital Markets & Center for Executive Education, IBA, Karachi – May 26, 2016

Center for Executive Education, IBA, Karachi and Institute of Capital Markets have join hands for Capital Market Development in Pakistan. Dr. Sayeed Ghani, Acting Dean and Director IBA and Mr. Muhammad Ali Khan, CEO of ICM signed an MoU on May 26, 2016 at Center for Executive Education (CEE), IBA, Karachi.

IBA-ICM collaboration will not only help prospect candidates to appear in the certification exams, but also help professionals to attend custom made programs at IBA for continuous professional development. CEE at IBA will be responsible to develop curriculum/ trainings/ seminars, in collaboration with ICM, whereas Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) will be in advisory capacity to the whole process. This collaboration has been made possible because of the continuous efforts of Dr. Izhar Hussain, Director Center for Executive Education, IBA, Karachi and Mr Haroon Askari, Deputy Managing Director, Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). For the first time in Pakistan, tailor made trainings will be offered for Capital Market professionals in the areas of Brokerage, Mutual Funds Distribution, Insurance and related areas.

Trained Human resource is a pre requisite for development of capital markets. In this regard ICM launched their certification programs, which now have been made mandatory by SECP. The collaboration will be led by Mr Muhammad Ali Khan (CEO, ICM) and Dr. Ahmad Junaid (IBA, Karachi).
