In January 2026, Pakistan witnessed a significant rebound in its sovereign bonds market, attracting $176 million in foreign inflows, the largest in 19 months, as reported by multiple sources including Bloomberg and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This marks a substantial turnaround from a net outflow of $50 million in January 2025. The majority of these inflows, approximately 85%, were directed towards short-term bonds with maturities of one year or less, highlighting a renewed investor confidence in the country's debt markets amidst a strengthening Pakistani rupee. According to Bloomberg, this surge in investment is a positive indicator of improving macroeconomic conditions and currency stability, with the rupee on track for its eighth consecutive monthly gain against the US dollar (Daily Times, TechJuice, Profit by Pakistan Today, ProPakistani, Business Recorder).
