CDNS records Rs1 trillion inflows in FY26, achieves 76.92% of annual target

The Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) has recorded Rs1 trillion in savings inflows from July 1 to March 18 of FY2025-26, achieving 76.92% of its annual target, according to official data.

The CDNS has set an overall inflow target of Rs1.3 trillion for the current fiscal year, with officials indicating that the latest figures reflect continued public participation in national savings schemes.

The organisation has also set a target of Rs50 billion for investments in Islamic savings instruments during FY26 to support the expansion of Shariah-compliant financial products.

Officials said that in the previous fiscal year, FY2024-25, CDNS had set an annual inflow target of Rs1.65 trillion, along with a Rs170 billion target for Islamic finance investments.

In FY2023-24, the CDNS raised Rs1.742 trillion in fresh bonds, exceeding its Rs1.7 trillion target. The performance followed the achievement of Rs1.6 trillion in FY2022-23, which was above the Rs1.3 trillion target set for FY2021-22.

The savings target for FY2021-22 was later revised upward to Rs1.4 trillion, reflecting adjustments based on market conditions and efforts to expand the savings base.

Officials said institutional reforms are underway within the CDNS, with measures being introduced to improve operational efficiency and expand outreach for national savings schemes across the country.
