The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has taken a significant step toward digitalizing regulatory processes by enabling electronic data sharing among key government organizations. Through newly signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Board of Investment (BOI) and several major regulatory bodies, SECP aims to streamline communication and ease compliance for businesses across Pakistan.
The MoUs were signed with various organizations, including NEPRA, PRA, DRAP, SNGPL, PEMRA, and IESCO. This collaboration will enable these entities to access company information directly from the SECP through the eZfile portal, which operates under the Pakistan Regulatory Modernization Initiative (PRMI). Previously, SECP established similar digital links with PSEB, STZA, PEC, PSW, BOI, PTA, KP-BOIT, KPRA, and BRA.
These reforms are expected to reduce the need for repetitive manual submissions, minimize paperwork, and offer faster access to services for corporate entities. The initiative marks a major shift toward a fully online regulatory environment, reflecting SECP’s vision of operating “From Paper to Platform.” By simplifying compliance, the commission aims to support businesses in focusing on their growth through efficient and seamless digital solutions.
