The Securities and Stock Exchange Committee in Pakistan (SECP) made adjustments to future stock exchange regulations (licensing and operations) for the year 2017, and improving operational guidelines for future exchanges and brokers.
The revised regulations, issued under SRO 141 (I)/2025, aims to improve financial transparency and protect the interests of the investor.
Under the new framework, any profits obtained on the money held in bank accounts by futures or customers brokers must be transferred, after deducting the service fees at a certified rate by SECP.
In addition, the exchange of futures that currently use parts of these funds is needed for output purposes allowed to get rid of these practices by June 30, 2025, ensuring compliance with the updated organizational structure.
