On 25th June 2025, Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX) issued a consultation paper to introduce minimum free-float requirements for mandatory compliance by all listed companies through amendments in the prevalent regulatory framework.
Currently, a significant number of listed companies fall short of the required public float, leading to limited trading activity, low investor engagement, and weak price discovery mechanisms.
To address these issues, PSX suggests:
- Implementing tiered minimum free-float requirements based on company size
- Setting compliance timelines of up to three years
The Consultation Paper outlines proposed minimum free-float thresholds based on market capitalization tiers, phased implementation timelines, and ongoing compliance obligations for listed companies.
