SECP briefs ABAD members on company registration, corporate reforms

Mettis Global reported that Commissioner Muzaffar Ahmed Mirza of the SECP held a briefing for officials of the Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD) on corporate reforms on September 23, 2026. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan also ran a live demonstration of the eZfile portal, the online channel used to register companies. The session gave ABAD members a first-hand look at how the process works in practice.

ABAD members are set to weigh turning their firms into companies, and they will also explore registering Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The SECP said registration as a company can assist firms in securing finance. ABAD will also put forward recommendations to the regulator concerning the real estate sector.

The report does not mention any listed company or market figure. The discussion is therefore about how businesses are formally structured and financed, rather than about share prices.
