The Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) in its statement has said that the Hindenburg report is an attempt to create a trust deficit in the market ecosystem. “India has built a regulatory framework that not only aligns with global best practices and standards but also ensures the protection and confidence of the smallest of investors. The  success of our markets, coupled with the evolved understanding and participation of our  investors, underscores the credibility and effectiveness of this system. Over a period, the  regulator has created a well-functioning market trusted by both local and global investors with  several measures taken under the current leadership of SEBI Chairperson,” the statement said.

It further added that the recent external comments on the SEBI Chairperson not only attempt to undermine the Chairperson Madhabi Buch’s contribution to the Indian capital market, but it also undermines the country’s economic progress and creating a trust deficit in the market  ecosystem must be seen for what they truly are. “Left unchecked, it can create unnecessary hurdles in the path of the world’s fastest-growing economy. These statements, lacking in context and understanding of our regulatory environment, seek to malign the hard-earned achievements of our nation. Such advances must be viewed as creating a hurdle in India’s endeavour to become a developed economy. Investors and partners, both domestic and international, must be rest assured that India’s financial system is secure, transparent and designed to foster growth and innovation with high integrity driven right from the top of the institution,” AMFI said.

AMFI also stated that the future of our country is bright and our market structure is strong.
