CDC - Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited

CDC - Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited CDC is recognized as the infrastructure backbone of Pakistan Capital Market.

With an ever increasing exponential growth in the Pakistan Capital Market during the early 1990s causing a huge increase in trading volumes, the physical handling of paper-based shares / certificates not only became laborious but also time consuming. It was in this perspective that CDC was incorporated to implement and operate a depository system and eliminate the tedious process of physical share

s handling and transfer. Experts from PriceWaterhouseCoopers conducted a study in 1993 to develop a conceptual framework for the depository. The study was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and its report laid the foundation for depository design. In November 1994, the Board of Directors at CDC awarded a turnkey contract to the IBM consortium for the implementation of this system in Pakistan. The IBM consortium proposed a comprehensive Master Implementation Plan (MIP) to the CDC Board after a detailed analysis of the following:
• National requirements
• Company and Banking laws
• Regulations & Procedures
• Financial and organizational aspects of the project
In April 1995, this MIP was approved by the CDC board. The infrastructural development included development and testing of software, hiring and training of personnel and establishment of CDC offices. The CDC offices at Lahore and Islamabad were connected to the head office through VSAT link leading to the development of a geographically neutral depository. These long term and broad-spectrum efforts finally resulted in the launch of the Central Depository System on September 3, 1997.
