During the fiscal year 2025-26, a significant increase was observed in capital raising activities among listed companies in Pakistan, with more than 20 billion rupees raised, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) stated today.
Twenty-one listed corporations successfully raised new capital for business expansion, launching new projects, and increasing production capacities.
A significant portion of this capital, approximately 16.7 billion rupees, was raised by ten companies through alternative sources other than rights offerings, demonstrating the various methods available for raising capital in the market.
Meanwhile, eleven companies opted for rights issues, through which approximately 3.8 billion rupees were raised. This method allowed existing shareholders to invest further in the growth avenues of the business.
The capital market in Pakistan continues to serve as an effective platform for companies seeking long-term financial solutions. Such equity financing options play an important role in promoting industrial growth and, through expansion, fostering economic development.
SECP is committed to implementing reforms to improve the investment environment and strengthen the capital market infrastructure.
