Why is it important?

This study is important in the context of Pakistan (an emerging economy) and international markets as a whole in explaining that futures markets do not destabilize the market. The growth of newer and innovative products in financial markets can provide much necessary liquidity and could be used as a risk management tool.

Perspectives

This is a very good study for the role of SSFs in Pakistan's market.
