Karachi: Bank Makramah Limited has announced a significant development concerning its financial operations. The bank's Board of Directors is scheduled to convene on February 11, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in Karachi. The primary agenda for the meeting is to consider the budget for the year 2025, alongside other pertinent issues.

In compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance and the regulations set forth by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Bank Makramah Limited has instituted a 'Closed Period' from February 7 to February 11, 2025. During this period, none of the bank's directors, CEO, executives, or their spouses are permitted to deal, directly or indirectly, in the bank's shares. This measure is taken to ensure transparency and prevent any insider trading activities that might arise during the sensitive period leading up to the board meeting.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the decision to impose a 'Closed Period' is a standard practice aimed at maintaining market integrity and protecting investor interests. The bank has duly notified the TRE certificate holders of the exchange about this development, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of the upcoming meeting and its implications.
