It was initially formed to meet the financial needs which facilitated firms and institutions to raise their capital through stock trading. Pakistan’s stock exchange, which is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy, contributes to a great capital formation in the country. The mechanism of how stock exchange works is pretty simple.

Firstly, companies list their stock shares for exchange. They do this to raise their funds and expand their business. Investors purchase the shares and then buy and sell stocks in the stock market. The exchange of these stocks regulates the supply and demand of companies listed stock shares. It resembles that of the mechanism of auction where people bid and buy. These shares offer a small part of the ownership of a public company.

The prices of the shares are negotiable and the prices of the stock prices reflect the company’s earnings, financial status, and the level to which the company can reach. To assist investors and guide them, stockbrokers are there. Brokers keep an eye on stock share prices and invest investors’ money in the shares, whether by buying or selling. For this, they charge commission. Brokers act as a middle party who arranges the transaction between buyer and seller and guides the investor, which is the right one to invest in. That’s all pretty much for a beginner.
