Pakistan’s Corporate sector continues to maintain an upward growth trajectory with the launching of a substantial number of new companies in different sectors every month.
According to the latest information available in this regard, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) registered as many as 2956 new companies during the month of April 2025. As a result of registration of these new companies, the total number of registered companies has now risen to 252321 appreciably reflecting the growing confidence in Pakistan’s corporate sector.
It is worth mentioning here that around 99.9 per cent of new companies registration was now being processed digitally marking another step in SECP’s efforts to provide a seamless , technology-driven regulatory environment which promotes as well as ensures transparency and also supports ease of doing business in the country.
Newly-registered Private Limited Companies accounted for 56 percent of the new companies registration while 39 percent were single -member companies and the remaining 5 % included public unlisted companies, not-for-profit organizations, trade organizations and limited liability partnerships.
A close look at the sectoral growth has revealed strong activity going on across a range of industries.
Out of newly-registered companies, 584 new companies pertained to Information Technology (IT) and e-Commerce sectors followed by 402 new companies in the Trading sector, 363 in the Services sector and 255 new companies were in the Real Estate Development and Construction sector.
Quite obviously this all argues well. But, somehow, the number of companies in the various sectors which may have been closed down during the period under report was not available from the SECP sources forthwith.
