ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has approved amendments to Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) regulations, making it mandatory for listed companies to hold corporate briefing sessions (CBS) following the release of their annual audited financial statements.

The measure aims to improve investor engagement, reduce information gaps, and ensure timely dissemination of financial information.

Under the revised framework, companies are required to hold a CBS within 30 days of their Annual General Meeting. The sessions must be attended by both the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, ensuring the presence of officials directly familiar with company affairs. To support the initiative, the PSX will maintain a dedicated CBS calendar on its website, displaying schedules and presentations for upcoming sessions.
