ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Islamic finance sector continues to gain momentum as the Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) recorded Rs24 billion in Shariah-compliant investment inflows from July 1, 2025, to February 18, 2026, bringing the institution close to its annual target of Rs25 billion for the fiscal year 2025-26. According to a senior CDNS official here on Thursday, the achievement reflects growing investor confidence in interest-free savings instruments amid Pakistan’s evolving financial landscape. Nearly 94 percent of the annual Islamic finance target has already been achieved midway through the fiscal year. “We have revived and reinforced our focus on Islamic finance during the current fiscal year, which is expected to support sustainable growth of Pakistan’s Islamic economy,” the official said.
