In Pakistan corporate debt securities primarily consist of term finance certificates (TFCs),
Sukuks (Islamic corporate bonds) & Commercial Papers.
1. Active Listed Corporate Debt Instruments:
On the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), There are typically between 40 & 60 active
listed corporate debt securities (TFCs & Sukuk) at any given time.
In addition to corporate bonds, the PSX lists government debt securities (Such as
GOP Ijarah Sukuk, PIBs & Treasury Bills).
2. Privately Placed vs. Publicly Offered:
Over 80% to 90% of corporate debt instruments in Pakistan are issued through private
placements.
These are sold directly to institutional investors (Such as bank, mutual funds,
insurance companies, & pension funds) rather than through public offerings to retail
investors.
3. Government vs. Corporate Market Size:
The Pakistani bond market is overwhelmingly dominated by Government Debt
Securities (GDS), which account for roughly 90%-95% of the entire fixed -income
market volume.
Corporate bonds represent a relatively small portion of the overall debt market.
