KARACHI: Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance regulatory oversight of the capital markets.
The agreement, inked at a ceremony held at the PSX grants the SECP direct access to PSX’s new surveillance system, enabling the regulator to conduct real-time and more efficient monitoring of trading activity.
According to PSX, the advanced system, procured from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange as part of the new trading system, was launched in May 2023 to bring the exchange’s technological capabilities in line with leading international markets. It allows for faster and smarter detection of unusual market movements, ensuring transparency and fairness in securities trading.
