Tasdeeq Information Services secures SECP approval for first IPO of FY2026-27 

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has approved the prospectus for the initial public offering (IPO) of Tasdeeq Information Services Limited, marking the first IPO cleared in the 2026-27 financial year.

Tasdeeq plans to offer 150 million ordinary shares through the IPO, representing 15.79% of its post-listing paid-up capital.

The company’s overall offering comprises 219 million shares, including 69 million shares already allocated to pre-IPO investors.

The issue will be conducted through a book-building process. Institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals will receive 75% of the offering, while the remaining 25% will be available to retail investors.

Tasdeeq Information Services is a credit bureau licensed by the State Bank of Pakistan. It collects and maintains credit information on individual and commercial borrowers and provides the data to member institutions for credit assessment and lending decisions.

SECP said 10 IPOs had entered the market since its new management took office in February 2026, following faster approvals and greater facilitation for issuers.

The regulator said reforms aimed at streamlining listing requirements and increasing digitalisation had made it easier for companies to raise equity through Pakistan’s capital markets.

SECP is also conducting nationwide IPO roadshows with market stakeholders to encourage more companies to list and inform businesses about the process and benefits of raising funds through the stock exchange.
