Governor of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Syed Salim Raza, has said that Pakistans banking system has great potential for further investment. He was speaking at a ceremony held here for the launching of Silkbank Limited, formerly Saudi Pak Commercial Bank Limited, says a SBP statement. Raza said the performance of countrys financial sector, which is largely dominated by banks, has been outstanding throughout the current economic situation. He stated that the banking sector has over the years nurtured itself in a way that it is able to withstand some of the shocks it has faced in the last 18 months or so. The banking system is on strong footing and has long term potential, a feature which has served to attract a substantial amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the sector, with established global financial institutions now active participants in the domestic financial sector, the Governor SBP said.
