Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) have made strategic partnerships to enhance the monitoring of capital markets through a Memorandum of Understanding (Sleeve). At a ceremony at PSX on September 23, 2025, the contract officially provides direct access to the SECP to the PSX’s new surveillance system.
This integration will enable the SECP to monitor the faster, faster and more secure market, taking advantage of the same advanced technology used by PSX. Mutual cooperation is an important step to strengthen the regulatory coordination and ensure a fair and transparent market for all participants.
As the module of China’s new trade system, China’s Shenzhen Stock Exchange, a new monitoring system achieved by PSX from China, was launched in May 2023 to upgrade the purpose of PSX and enhance its technical capacity and functionality to bring other stocks equivalent to other stock exchanges worldwide. It is a sophisticated and advanced monitoring system, which will now be achieved by the SECP under the same arrangements with PSX. A strong surveillance system for a strong and transparent securities market is a prerequisite.
The signing of this sleeve is a continuation of the joint vision between the PSX and the SECP to align the market infrastructure in the capital of Pakistan with a global standard. The two organizations acknowledged the contribution and support of their teams from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange of China, China, which played a vital role in the stages of full development and implementation.
This partnership set the phase of deep integration and improved regulatory coordination, paving the way for a more transparent and flexible capital market ecosystem in Pakistan.
