SECP Highlights Growing Capital Market Activity
SECP Chairman Dr. Kabir Ahmed Sidhu welcomed the rise in public offerings. He said the trend reflects growing interest in capital market fundraising.
According to Sidhu, businesses increasingly rely on capital markets for long-term financing. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining a stable capital market.
Furthermore, he said stable markets can support businesses seeking sustainable funding. This can also strengthen investment activity across Pakistan’s financial sector.
Regulator Plans Further Capital Market Reforms
Sidhu said the SECP continues working to improve the capital-raising process. The regulator plans measures to reduce both time and costs for businesses.
Meanwhile, the New Nazimabad Apartments REIT offering adds another major opportunity for investors. The latest approval also highlights continued activity in Pakistan’s capital market.
The development comes as companies and investment projects increasingly explore public offerings. Consequently, the SECP expects further improvements to encourage capital market participation.
