Karachi: As part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining robust trading services, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has announced plans to test live trading service availability from its Disaster Recovery (DR) location. This initiative is aimed at bolstering the resilience and continuity of PSX’s trading infrastructure.

The upcoming drill is crucial for all Trading Right Entitlement Certificate (TREC) holders and brokers, as it builds upon the previously conducted DR mock drill held on May 11, 2024. This past exercise was a vital step in validating the effectiveness of PSX’s disaster recovery procedures, ensuring that both PSX and TREC holders are prepared for any potential DR scenarios.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the current phase involves moving towards live service availability from the DR location. TREC holders are advised to review and validate their systems by April 25, 2025, ensuring seamless trading activities in the event of a disaster recovery activation. This preparation is critical to align with PSX’s DR environment and confirm that all services operate as expected.

PSX emphasizes the importance of this readiness, advising all TREC holders to ensure their DR systems are compliant and fully tested. This preparedness is essential for the successful integration with PSX’s DR environment and for maintaining uninterrupted trading services. The designated market category for this drill is focused on enhancing infrastructure resilience and service reliability.
