Karachi: Amid ongoing economic adversities and a challenging macroeconomic landscape, First Dawood Properties Limited has demonstrated a resilient operational posture throughout the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2024.

Despite the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee and steep interest rate hikes, the company reported a 40% depreciation in currency value and a rise in interest rates from 13.75% to 23.00% over the last year. These factors, coupled with a 30% inflation rate and constraints on market liquidity, have substantially impacted industries across Pakistan. However, the company navigated these conditions without seeking external financial aid.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), First Dawood Properties emphasized its strategic adaptability by implementing rigorous financial controls and cost-cutting measures. This strategy enabled the company to manage its non-performing assets effectively, with significant provisions amounting to Rs.45.226 million.

The firm's leadership, leveraging extensive experience in diverse fields, has maintained strict compliance with PSX regulations, ensuring robust corporate governance. This governance framework supported the company's ability to withstand the economic downturn, evidenced by its ability to sustain operations without compromising on shareholder and creditor obligations.

The company remains committed to transparent and ethical management practices, prioritizing stakeholder engagement and regulatory compliance. This commitment is reflected in their rigorous internal reviews of financial statements and strategic operations adjustments aimed at enhancing overall company resilience and operational efficiency.
