Bank Alfalah Limited and the National Clearing Company of Pak Ltd. (NCCPL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expand the role of commercial banks in Pakistan’s capital markets. The agreement aims to boost liquidity, widen the investor base, and strengthen market participation.
Under the MoU, Bank Alfalah will assess options such as financing through the Margin Trading System, becoming a custodian clearing member, exploring professional clearing membership, using NCCPL’s capital gains tax system, and working on Shariah-compliant financial solutions.

NCCPL CEO Naveed Qazi highlighted the joint effort to introduce products that improve efficiency and transparency in Pakistan’s financial system.
The MoU reflects the shared vision of both institutions to build a stronger and more diverse financial sector.
