May 19, 2025 (MLN): The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has issued a consultation paper proposing measures to promote Shariah-compliant intermediaries in the capital market.

The paper is in line with the broader objective of SECP to facilitate the provision of Shariah-compliant services within its regulated sectors.

The paper proposes a phase-wise approach for Shariah-compliant institutional investors to route their business through Shariah-compliant brokers based on a plan to be prepared by their respective boards of directors, according to the press release issued today.

In addition, the paper encourages Islamic financial institutions, including providers of Islamic window services, to utilize Shariah-compliant intermediaries for takaful and investment purposes in situations where they are not obligated to do so.

Other proposed measures include creating a specific category for Shariah-compliant intermediaries for greater visibility on the Centralized Gateway Portal and a dedicated list of Shariah-compliant asset management companies on EMLAAK Financials.

In order to facilitate Roshan Digital Account (RDA) clients, creating a separate category of Shariah-compliant intermediaries on the websites and mobile apps of Islamic banks may also be explored in coordination with relevant stakeholders.
