The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan amends regulation 8(3)(a) of the Central Depositories (Licensing and Operations) Regulations, 2016. After the words "collective shareholding of", the words "all shareholders other than those mentioned at clause (a) of sub-regulation (1) above shall not exceed forty nine percent" are inserted in place of "securities exchanges, directly or indirectly, shall not exceed forty percent". This changes the collective shareholding cap for those shareholders from forty percent to forty nine percent.
