ISLAMABAD, June 24,2026 : Chinese strategic investors in the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) have expressed strong confidence in Pakistan’s capital markets and welcomed the reforms introduced by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Kabir Ahmed Sidhu.
In a letter sent after a recent meeting with the Chinese Investor Consortium, Mr. You Hang (Harry), Executive Vice President of China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX), thanked the SECP leadership for its constructive engagement and continued support in resolving key strategic issues related to Pakistan’s capital market infrastructure.
The investors particularly appreciated SECP’s efforts to address several long-pending matters. These include approvals for restructuring PSX assets and increasing PSX’s strategic shareholding in the National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL) and the Central Depository Company of Pakistan (CDC).
According to the consortium, these measures align Pakistan’s capital market infrastructure more closely with international standards. As a result, they strengthen the long-term growth prospects of the country’s financial markets.
Furthermore, the Chinese investors reaffirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation with Pakistan. They noted that recent reforms and policy support have created a more favorable environment for deeper engagement by Chinese institutional investors.
The consortium also expressed interest in working closely with SECP, market institutions, and regulators in both countries. The proposed areas of cooperation include innovative investment products, improved market connectivity, and greater participation of Chinese investors in Pakistan’s financial markets.
Moreover, the investors said the ongoing reforms have enhanced confidence in Pakistan’s investment climate and capital market framework.
The development reflects growing international trust in Pakistan’s financial sector reforms. At the same time, it highlights strengthening financial cooperation between Pakistan and China. Market experts believe these efforts will help attract foreign portfolio investment, improve market depth, and broaden investor participation in the coming years.
