Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan SECP has approved the acquisition of a controlling stake in TPL Insurance Limited by Jazz International Holding Limited. The move represents a strategic partnership between a leading digital insurer and a major digital operator, expected to increase insurance penetration and attract both domestic and foreign investment. The decision underscores SECP’s commitment to fostering a transparent, efficient, and investor-friendly environment in Pakistan’s financial services sector.
