KARACHI: Pakistan Stock Exchange denies in strongest possible terms various “unfounded” and “baseless” allegations contained in the article captioned ‘Spring-Clean at the PSX’ which appeared in Business Recorder of March 6, 2018, particularly the assertion that PSX fired any of its employees on any charge, especially the two officials referred to in newspaper’s article, who as a matter of fact “resigned of their own free will without any coercion to pursue career opportunities.”

It may be mentioned here that the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) via its press release on November 21, 2017 had sought to inform general public that it had ordered an investigation into the leakage of trading information of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
