SECP seeks stakeholders’ feedback on draft certification regulations

Author: APP

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has issued the Draft Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (Certification of Associated Professionals in the Financial Services) Regulations, 2025, for public consultation.

These proposed regulations aim to enhance the competency and professionalism of individuals engaged in financial services by establishing a structured certification framework, said a release issued here on Wednesday.

The draft regulations introduce mandatory certification requirements for professionals operating in the financial sector, including intermediaries, agents, and distributors, ensuring they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to serve investors effectively.

The SECP will notify a credible institute to conduct the certification process, administer examinations, and oversee Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programs.

The financial services sector plays a critical role in economic stability and investor confidence. Ensuring that professionals within this sector adhere to high standards of knowledge, ethics, and competency is essential.
