On September 23, 2025, The Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding granting the SECP direct access to PSX’s state-of-the-art New Surveillance System. This integration enables smarter, faster and more secure market surveillance and represents a key step in strengthening coordination between market operator and regulator.
The advanced system, acquired from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, brings modern monitoring capabilities to Pakistan’s capital market. By leveraging this technology, PSX and SECP aim to align local practices with global standards, improve detection of irregular trading patterns and support timely regulatory action to protect investors and maintain market integrity.
This collaboration is expected to enhance confidence among investors and market participants by promoting a fair and transparent marketplace. The MOU sets the foundation for a more resilient capital market framework in Pakistan as both institutions move forward with closer operational cooperation and shared commitment to stronger market surveillance.
