Why Settlement Speed Matters (The Broker Reality)
In Pakistan, brokers play a unique role:
-
Brokers are allowed to fund client margins
-
Trading limits are tied to unsettled exposure
-
Until settlement completes, broker capital stays blocked
Under T+2
-
Capital stays locked for two days
-
Same money cannot be reused quickly
Under T+1
-
Capital unlocks the next day
-
The same capital can be reused twice as fast
