In this regard, the shareholders of the Bank at their Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 16, 2023 passed the requisite resolutions authorizing the equity injection.
The President of the Bank, Jawad Majid Khan, emphasized that the investor’s commitment to the Bank is demonstrated by the fact that, despite the current economic situation of the country, he has already placed the requisite funds i.e. Rs 10 billion with the Bank as advance against proposed issuance of shares.
