NAB’s Record-Breaking Recoveries: A Noteworthy Leap in Anti-Corruption Efforts
In recent news, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) showcased impressive achievements in the second quarter of 2025, recovering a staggering Rs456.3 billion. This amount is nearly five times higher than the Rs91 billion collected in the first quarter. Such a leap marks a significant stride in NAB’s ongoing battle against corruption, as reported by the Associated Press of Pakistan.
Total recoveries for the first half of the year have now reached Rs547.31 billion, with a large portion of this — over Rs532 billion — handed back to government institutions. It’s not just about the numbers; these recoveries underline NAB’s commitment to holding corrupt entities accountable and restoring public wealth. Thousands of victims impacted by fraudulent schemes are now receiving their due compensation.
Among notable accomplishments, NAB Rawalpindi reclaimed state land valued at Rs29 billion in Islamabad’s Sector E-11, facilitating its return to the Capital Development Authority. Additionally, the Bureau recovered Rs3 billion from the B4U scam, which will be distributed to over 17,000 affected individuals. The recovery of assets continues to be a primary focus, with a valuable Rs4 billion expected in the current quarter.
In a remarkable endeavor, NAB also recovered Rs384 billion worth of forest land solely in the second quarter, bringing total forest land recoveries to over Rs1.48 trillion. Cases like the Eden Housing scandal, where Rs3.2 billion was disbursed to nearly 12,000 victims, highlight the agency’s effective resolution of complex issues.
Looking ahead, NAB is shifting its attention to the recovery of encroached state land, identifying properties worth nearly Rs5 trillion that have been illegally occupied. This proactive approach aims to ensure that every last rupee of national wealth is reclaimed, reinforcing NAB’s mission to foster transparency and good governance.
NAB’s recent accomplishments resonate far beyond the statistics. They represent dedicated efforts by teams across the nation who are committed to building a more transparent future.
