May 30, 2025 (MLN): The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has released a Concept Paper proposing a regulatory framework for algorithmic trading in Pakistan’s capital markets.

Based on international best practices, the recommendations aim to foster innovation while safeguarding market integrity and investor protection.

The proposed framework outlines clear roles for key stakeholders, according to a series of tweets by the SECP on X.

Exchanges will oversee registration and monitoring, brokers must implement robust controls and ensure compliance, and third-party providers are required to adhere to regulatory standards.

Stakeholders are encouraged to review the proposal and submit their feedback via email to algo.trading@secp.gov.pk by June 14, 2025.
