The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) held a capacity-building session in Karachi as part of a series designed to help banks implement and use the Electronic Mortgage Register (EMR) portal effectively. Delivered in collaboration with the Pakistan Banks’ Association, the second session in the series took place at the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and focused on EMR functionality and its practical use. SECP outlined how the centralized EMR is intended to operate as a comprehensive database for mortgage information, supporting more efficient decision-making by banks and other financial institutions and improving transparency, efficiency, and reliability in accessing mortgage data.
