Listed firms raise Rs20bn through capital market in FY26: SECP

July 07, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan’s capital market has strengthened its role as a financing platform, enabling listed companies to raise more than Rs20 billion during the financial year 2025-26, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

The SECP stated that 21 listed companies successfully raised fresh capital through the capital market to support business expansion, new projects, and enhancement of production capacity.

Out of these companies, 10 listed firms raised over Rs16.7 billion through avenues other than right issues, while 11 companies mobilized around Rs3.8 billion through right issues.

The regulator highlighted that right issues provided existing shareholders with an opportunity to further invest in companies’ growth plans while maintaining their ownership participation.

The SECP said that equity financing continues to provide companies with an effective source of long-term funding, helping promote business activity, industrial development, and economic growth.

The Commission reiterated that it is continuing reforms aimed at promoting investment and strengthening Pakistan’s capital market ecosystem.
