Islamabad: Pakistan’s listed corporate sector has reported a 25% increase in profits during the first nine months of this year, marking a significant acceleration in earnings momentum.
According to Radio Pakistan, Advisor to the Finance Minister Khurram Schehzad shared data on social media platform X, highlighting this as the strongest nine-month profit growth since 2023. Schehzad attributed the growth to targeted tax relief for businesses and exporters, improved macroeconomic stability, reduced financing pressures, and ongoing reforms in fiscal policy, energy, and business sectors.
He emphasized that the subsequent phase of Pakistan’s economic development should focus on channeling these stronger corporate earnings into productive investments, industrial growth, job creation, and sustainable private-sector-led growth.
