Trade deals remove uncertainties, boost capital formation: Sebi chairman

Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Wednesday said that end of trade frictions through trade deals like the one with the US removes uncertainties, which will help accelerate capital formation. Replying to a question on whether the trade deal with the US will push foreign investors to get more money into the country, Pandey said such moves can "spur" investment decisions. "Fundamentally, when you have an overhang of a regulatory action which is removed, and trade frictions removed, so any capital formation is always accelerated," Pandey told reporters here. The removal of the uncertainties can spur investment decisions and get a greater predictability on capital, he added. "So overall in the situation I could say that with the deals that have been done on the trade side, a lot of uncertainties have been removed," he said. Speaking on the sidelines of a conference organised by capital markets regulator Sebi to deepen the corporate bond market, Pandey declined to comment when asked a

Strengthening investor protection key priority for regulator: Sebi chief

Markets regulator Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Thursday stressed the need to strengthen investor protection, warning that unregistered advisory groups continue to lure individuals into unsafe trading channels and that dabba trading keeps resurfacing in new digital forms. Addressing a regional investor awareness seminar organised by the BSE in Coimbatore, Pandey said the challenge has intensified in an age where misinformation spreads faster than facts. Fraudulent trading apps look convincing, digital profiles mimic legitimacy, and guaranteed-return schemes promise what no regulated market can offer. Reiterating the seriousness of the threat, he noted that such "unregistered advisory groups lure individuals into unsafe trading channels, and dabba trading continues to reappear in new digital disguises". Such unregistered advisory groups and disguised dabba operations are not isolated incidents, but coordinated attempts to exploit investor trust, curiosity and aspiration. This .

Sebi chief Tuhin Kanta Pandey says not looking to regulate digital gold

Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Friday clarified that the markets regulator is not looking to regulate 'digital gold' or 'e-gold' products as these do not fall under its purview. Speaking on the sidelines of the National Conclave on REITs and InvITs-2025, Pandey said that regulated gold-related investments can be made through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offered by mutual funds or through other tradable gold securities. The clarification came days after the digital gold industry urged the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to bring digital gold platforms under formal regulation. Earlier this month, Sebi had warned investors against investing in digital or e-gold products, saying such instruments fall outside its regulatory framework and involve significant risks. The cautionary statement came after Sebi observed that some online platforms have been promoting digital gold' or e-gold' products as an easy alternative to investing in physical gold. "In this context, it
