  "summary": "Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has called for increased promotion of Pakistan's sovereign Sukuk among foreign investors, despite the underwhelming response despite positive inflows into Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs). The minister highlighted that Pakistan's sovereign Sukuk issuance surged 113 percent year-on-year to Rs4.4 trillion in 2026, with the government introducing hybrid and short-term Shariah-compliant instruments to diversify financing sources. However, foreign investment in Sukuk remains below expectations, prompting Aurangzeb to urge market participants to actively promote these instruments among international investors and expand retail participation through digital platforms.",
