SECP drafts a venture capital bill aimed at enhancing startup funding, according to The News Pakistan. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has introduced a draft legislation that would create a dedicated venture capital framework to support early‑stage companies. The proposal is intended to encourage investment in emerging businesses by providing a regulatory structure for venture capital funds. While the draft outlines the basic principles for fund registration and oversight, it also emphasizes the need for a conducive environment for entrepreneurs seeking capital. Industry observers say the move could streamline access to finance for Pakistan’s growing startup ecosystem. The bill is currently under review by lawmakers, and its final form will determine how venture capital operates in the country.
