13.04.2015 - India: Commodity trade needs strong regulator

Post-National Spot Exchange crisis, regulations on warehouses have been tightened and Sebi is expected to play a crucial role.

The futures market needs participation of financial sector, foreign institutional investors and mutual funds."..............................................Full Article: Source
