ISLAMABAD, August 9, 2025 — The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has reported a dramatic surge in recoveries, reclaiming Rs 456.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025 alone — a staggering Rs 365.29 billion increase compared to the Rs 91.01 billion recovered in the first quarter of the year.
According to an official NAB spokesperson, total recoveries during the first two quarters of 2025 now stand at Rs 547.31 billion, with movable and immovable assets worth Rs 532.33 billion already transferred to various federal and provincial ministries, departments, and financial institutions. Additionally, 12,611 victims of “cheating public at large” cases have been compensated.

The Bureau credits this milestone to the dedication and relentless efforts of its officers in the fight against corruption.
