As of June 2025, Porto Consulting is closely monitoring significant regulatory updates in Pakistan's financial and corporate sectors. The Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has introduced the Companies Regulations 2024, effective from February 12, 2024, which consolidates company registration and compliance processes by reducing statutory forms from over 60 to 28. This reform simplifies procedures for both local and foreign entities, with specific reporting obligations for foreign companies outlined in Chapter IV (Regulations 20-28).
