The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has recently achieved a significant milestone by securing full membership in the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), as reported by Profit by Pakistan Today on February 12, 2026. This development is part of PSX's broader strategy to enhance its market infrastructure and improve investor access. PSX CEO Farrukh H Sabzwari announced plans to list 12 new companies in 2026, reflecting a positive outlook for the exchange. He noted that the number of Unique Identification Numbers (UINs) reached a record 23,400 in January 2026, indicating increased participation in the capital market. Sabzwari also highlighted the transition to a T+1 settlement system, which was completed with the cooperation of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL), and Central Depository Company (CDC). This new system allows for securities to be delivered one day after the trade, reducing settlement delays and credit risk, and improving liquidity. During the initial phase, transactions involving 931 million shares worth Rs60 billion were processed, with a net settlement value of Rs20 billion.
