KARACHI:
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is all set to make a newly acquired trading platform fully operational over the next couple of months to strengthen security features to better safeguard investors’ data and integrate the national bourse with regional and international stock markets.
The new trading system, which is bought from Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) for $2.85 million, has a built-in surveillance system, which means it is capable of preventing and detecting data leakages and theft attempts. The integration would help attracting foreign investment at PSX.
