Stylers International Limited (PSX: STYLERS) has officially received the Shariah Compliance Certificate from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), confirming the company’s adherence to the Shariah Governance Regulations 2023. The announcement, disclosed to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on December 1, 2025, formally categorizes Stylers International as a Shariah-compliant entity.
The Shariah Compliance certification is a significant milestone for Stylers International, as it validates that the company meets all requirements under SECP’s regulatory framework for ethical and Shariah-compliant business operations. This certification not only demonstrates Stylers International’s commitment to ethical and responsible corporate practices but also enhances transparency and investor confidence, particularly among Islamic institutional investors and dedicated Shariah-compliant funds.
Shariah-compliant status is increasingly becoming a key factor in shaping investor sentiment. Islamic investment funds, which operate under strict ethical and financial screening principles, often prioritize investments in companies with verified Shariah compliance. By achieving this certification, Stylers International is now positioned to attract a broader pool of investors, including Shariah-based institutional investors and portfolios that exclusively focus on ethical or Islamic-compliant investments.
The management of Stylers International emphasized that the disclosure of the certification was part of the company’s commitment to maintaining transparency and fulfilling regulatory obligations. A scanned copy of the certificate issued by SECP was enclosed with the company’s official filing to the PSX, reinforcing the credibility of the announcement.
Analysts highlight that companies obtaining Shariah-compliant status typically see enhanced investor participation, as Shariah funds adhere to rigorous screening standards. These funds consider not only financial performance but also adherence to ethical principles such as prohibition of interest-based transactions, avoidance of speculative activities, and compliance with social responsibility norms. For Stylers International, the certification could potentially open new avenues for capital inflow, strengthen market perception, and contribute to the company’s long-term growth trajectory.
With Pakistan’s Islamic finance sector gaining momentum, Shariah-compliant companies are increasingly seen as strategic investments. Financial experts note that the combination of regulatory recognition, ethical business practices, and alignment with global Shariah standards makes Stylers International an attractive option for investors seeking stable, compliant, and socially responsible investment opportunities.
The development also aligns with a broader trend in Pakistan’s capital markets, where transparency, governance, and Shariah-compliance are key drivers of investor trust and market stability. By meeting these standards, Stylers International reinforces its position as a forward-looking company that integrates regulatory compliance with sustainable business practices, catering to both traditional and Islamic investment markets.
As the company continues to expand its operations, the SECP certification will serve as an important milestone in Stylers International’s journey toward increased investor confidence, wider market participation, and alignment with global Shariah finance standards.
