The Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) has mobilized Rs350 billion in savings inflows during the first four months of the current fiscal year, achieving over a quarter of its Rs1.3 trillion annual target for FY2025-26.
According to a senior CDNS official, the institution has also set a Rs50 billion investment goal for Islamic savings products this year to promote the growth of the Islamic finance sector in Pakistan.
The official said the National Savings network has continued to perform strongly, exceeding annual targets in recent years. In FY2023-24, CDNS achieved Rs1.742 trillion in fresh bond sales, surpassing its Rs1.7 trillion target. Similarly, it collected Rs1.6 trillion in FY2022-23, exceeding the previous year’s goal by Rs200 billion.
He said the directorate had revised its savings target to Rs1.4 trillion in FY2021-22 to promote a stronger savings culture in response to changing market dynamics.
The CDNS is also undertaking institutional reforms and introducing new initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and expanding access to savings instruments across the country.
