The Central Depository System (Pvt) Ltd. (CDS) suspended CDS accounts that had been inactive for more than 15 years on 30 June 2026, in line with CDS Circular No. 02-06-2026 dated 15 June 2026.
During the implementation of this suspension, a number of active CDS accounts were inadvertently affected and suspended, a release said.
The issue was identified during the pre-open session today. As a result, the Market Auction Call (pre-open session) was extended to facilitate the restoration of CDS accounts that had been incorrectly suspended.
Regular trading commenced at 11.00 a.m.
The CDS expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the delayed start of trading, noting that the extension of the pre-open session was necessary to ensure a fair and orderly market.
