| dc.description.abstract | Social stock exchange is a novel concept that stems from the need for transparency. As we all know, the best approach to bring in transparency is through public inspection, and capital markets are known for providing a transparent platform with direct public scrutiny. In terms of public disclosures, governance, supervision, and perception, there are considerable distinctions between a listed and an unlisted corporation. Unlike the listed commercial firms, not enough information regarding for-profit social enterprises or non-profit organizations (social enterprises) in the country is available in the public domain, even though they now make up a significant part of the ecosystem. Investors may be interested in contributing to social entrepreneurs, but a lack of awareness about these businesses typically prevents funds from flowing. The research takes a more holistic approach to creating an enabling ecosystem to drive the expansion of the country's social impact sector, rather than focusing solely on architecture to support capital exchange. | en_US |
