ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s non-bank financial sector expanded in the second half of 2025, with total assets rising 21% to Rs6.84 trillion ($24.4 billion) by Dec. 31, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) said on Wednesday. The growth, up from Rs5.635 trillion ($20.1 billion) in June 2025, was driven by strong performance in fund management and lending segments, according to the regulator’s latest report, reflecting increased investor participation and expansion of Shariah-compliant assets.
