HABIBMETRO recently organized its Economic Insights Treasury Roadshow titled “Changing Dynamics of Pakistan’s Economy Amidst a Global Perspective,” with sessions held in Faisalabad, Multan, and Lahore.
As Pakistan’s leading trade finance bank, HABIBMETRO is committed to supporting trade businesses nationwide. The seminars aimed to assist key trade industry professionals and decision-makers in navigating economic challenges and offered a platform for discussions on Pakistan’s economic recovery within the global trade context.
“HABIBMETRO’s role as a leading trade finance bank underscores our commitment to fostering financial intermediation and catalyzing trade and economic growth in Pakistan. With this roadshow, we aim to equip our clients with expert insights, enrich their understanding of the evolving economic landscape, and foster constructive dialogue,” said Khurram Shahzad Khan, President and CEO of HABIBMETRO.
Renowned economist Sakib Sherani shared his expert analysis on the economy, emphasizing Pakistan’s progress towards macroeconomic stability. “An expected IMF arrangement in the coming months will unlock additional bilateral and multilateral financing opportunities, likely stabilizing the external account. This will support exchange rate stability and reinforce anticipated disinflationary trends in the economy,” Sherani noted.
Syed Ali Sultan, Group CEO of Global Financial Institutions at Habib Bank AG Zurich, provided insights on the evolving global economic landscape. “The shifting global economic environment, marked by ongoing conflicts, presents new challenges. It is crucial for stakeholders at all levels to understand and adapt to these changes,” said Sultan. “Habib Bank AG Zurich (HBZ) has played a vital role in supporting Pakistan’s trade during these difficult times. We believe Pakistan is moving towards gradual stability, and through HABIBMETRO, our franchise in Pakistan, HBZ will continue to serve as a responsible financial intermediary.”
