Pakistan’s Banking Sector Anticipates Stable Dividend Payouts Amid Marginal Profit Growth

January 30, 2026

Karachi: Pakistan's banking sector is expected to witness a slight increase in profitability, with a projected 2% year-on-year rise to PKR 109.4 billion in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2025. This growth is primarily driven by deposit growth, although overall gains remain limited due to declining policy rates.

According to AKD Securities Limited, net interest margins (NIMs) are anticipated to decrease slightly in the face of monetary easing. Despite this, the banking sector is predicted to maintain its dividend payouts in the final quarter. This stability in payouts is supported by strong capitalization and a stable currency outlook, even as the financial landscape experiences changes in monetary policy.
