Islamabad (HRNW)- Pakistan has witnessed a significant increase in the ability of companies to raise capital through the country’s capital market, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
The SECP stated that 21 listed companies raised a total of more than Rs20 billion from the capital market during the 2025–26 fiscal year.
According to the commission, the funds were raised to support business expansion, new projects, and increased production capacity, reflecting growing confidence in Pakistan’s capital market.
The data showed that 10 listed companies raised more than Rs16.7 billion through financing methods other than rights offers, while 11 companies secured approximately Rs3.8 billion through rights issues.
The SECP said that rights issues provided existing shareholders with an opportunity to further invest in the growth of their companies, while the capital market continues to serve as an effective platform for providing long-term financing to the corporate sector.
According to the commission, equity financing plays a vital role in promoting business activity, industrial development, and overall economic growth. It added that reforms are also underway to encourage investment and further strengthen Pakistan’s capital market.
