Islamabad — The Pakistan Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding on 23 September 2025 granting the SECP direct access to PSX’s New Surveillance System, acquired from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, China.
Under the agreement, the integration of the New Surveillance System will enable smarter, faster and more secure market oversight and strengthen regulatory coordination between the exchange and the regulator. Access to the system is expected to enhance overall Market Surveillance capabilities across Pakistan’s capital market.
By leveraging technology from an established international exchange, both parties aim to align Pakistan’s market practices with global standards and support a fair and transparent trading environment. The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to investor protection and market integrity.
Officials said the MOU paves the way for a more resilient capital market framework in Pakistan and provides the SECP with improved tools to monitor and respond to market developments as part of ongoing efforts to modernise Market Surveillance.
