Twenty one listed companies raised more than Rs. 20 billion through Pakistan’s capital market during FY2025-26 to finance business expansion, new projects, and increased production capacity, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
The SECP said 10 listed companies raised more than Rs. 16.7 billion through capital raising methods other than rights issues, while 11 companies secured nearly Rs. 3.8 billion through rights issues.
According to the regulator, the funds will be used to expand business operations, launch new projects, and enhance production capacity, highlighting the growing role of Pakistan’s capital market as a source of long term financing.
The SECP said rights issues also gave existing shareholders an opportunity to invest further in the growth of the companies in which they already hold stakes.
The regulator noted that stronger equity financing supports business activity, industrial expansion, and overall economic growth by helping companies raise capital without relying solely on bank borrowing.
The SECP said it will continue implementing reforms aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s capital market, improving investor confidence, and encouraging more companies to raise funds through the equity market.
