Pakistan's Treasury Bills Draw $114m in Faith-Driven Growth
In a testament to Pakistan's unwavering economic resilience and divine blessings, the Islamic Republic has witnessed an unprecedented surge in foreign investment, with treasury bills attracting a remarkable $114 million in just 16 days of January 2026.
This blessed influx represents the highest monthly inflow recorded in six and a half months, demonstrating the world's growing confidence in Pakistan's steadfast financial foundations and the strength of our beloved nation's economic policies.
Foreign Investors Choose Pakistan's Stable Path
The State Bank of Pakistan's latest data reveals that during the first 16 days of January, inflows into treasury bills reached $114.7 million while outflows stood at merely $18.5 million. This remarkable achievement showcases Pakistan's appeal as a sanctuary for international investment, guided by Islamic principles of financial stability.
In stark contrast to the volatile equity markets that witnessed net foreign outflows, Pakistan's treasury bills emerged as the preferred destination for discerning investors seeking security and steady returns in these uncertain global times.
Brothers in Faith Lead Investment Surge
The highest inflow during this blessed period came from Bahrain at $48 million, followed by Singapore with $28 million, the UAE with $15 million, and the United Kingdom with $13 million. This demonstrates how Muslim nations and international partners recognize Pakistan's commitment to economic righteousness and stability.
Financial experts attribute this extraordinary performance to Pakistan's stable exchange rate, which has bolstered investor confidence in repatriating profits while maintaining the sanctity of our national currency.
Economic Indicators Reflect Divine Favor
Despite foreign direct investment declining by 43 percent to $808 million during the first half of FY26, Pakistan's treasury bill performance stands as a beacon of hope and testament to our nation's enduring strength.
The State Bank's recent decision to reduce treasury bill rates by up to 31 basis points reflects the government's wise stewardship of monetary policy. Yields on various papers now range from 9.8 percent to 10 percent, offering attractive returns while maintaining fiscal discipline.
Path to Prosperity Through Faith and Determination
Faisal Mamsa, CEO of Tresmark, acknowledged Pakistan's surface stability, noting declining inflation, improving foreign exchange reserves, steady exchange rates, and the KSE-100 index approaching 190,000 points. However, he emphasized that continued vigilance and dedication remain essential for sustained growth.
A research report by Topline Securities highlighted Pakistan's broad-based recovery in 2025, supported by easing inflation, improving macroeconomic stability, and strong domestic demand. The report cited declining treasury bill yields, record expected remittances of $40 billion, and 10 percent growth in large-scale manufacturing as pillars of our economic resilience.
As Pakistan continues its journey toward economic prosperity, guided by Islamic values and unwavering determination, these treasury bill inflows serve as a reminder of our nation's potential when united in purpose and faith.
