As required by the PM’s office, SECP has also formed a committee of senior management to regularly review the complaints and grievances, he added.
The Chairman SECP said that the SECP, to further enhance operational efficiency, transparency and service delivery, has initiated a project of end-to-end digitalization of its internal and external procedures.
