NAB Pledges Overseas Asset Repatriation From London and Dubai

NAB used Anti-Corruption Day events to rally public backing for a new overseas asset‑recovery push.

Overview

  • Chairman Lt-Gen (retd) Nazir Ahmad said those who stashed Pakistan’s wealth in London and Dubai would be brought back and declared the cities would not remain safe havens.
  • NAB reported recoveries of Rs6,140 billion in 2025 and Rs11,400 billion over roughly two and a half years, alongside a move to an automated investigative framework.
  • The Islamabad/Rawalpindi awareness walk marking International Anti-Corruption Day was led by Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and the NAB chief, drawing politicians, diplomats, business leaders, ulema, media, students and civil society.
  • Sardar Ayaz Sadiq credited internal reforms with ending fear around the institution and said recent recoveries had helped restore public confidence.
  • At a Karachi seminar, former Sindh High Court judge Muhammad Shaiq Usmani said NAB had done a good job in curbing corruption, despite longstanding criticism.
