Islamabad: Askari Bank Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s economy by accelerating its transition toward a stable, ethical, and inclusive financial system through the expansion of Shariah-compliant banking services.
Islamic Banking is now available across all branches of Askari Bank, marking a significant milestone in the Bank’s transformation journey. The initiative aligns with the State Bank of Pakistan’s Vision 2028 and complies with the directives of the Federal Shariah Court, supporting the national objective of expanding the Islamic financial system in the country.
Commenting on the development, Zia Ijaz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Askari Bank, stated that the Bank has made substantial progress in its Islamic Banking rollout.
