Abstract / Description

The reform of the financial sector in Pakistan should be examined in an overall macroeconomic context, against the backdrop of the overall strategy of reforms implemented during the last decade and the strengthening of the Central Bank’s capacity to regulate and supervise the financial sector. It is only when the macroeconomic situation took a turn for the better, that structural reforms were vigorously pursued and the State Bank of Pakistan achieved autonomy and competence that the financial sector began to show some demonstrable results. Without these pre-requisites in place, it is hard to imagine whether any meaningful progress could have been possible.
