Listen "Pakistan’s Capital Market Advantage: Innovation, Inclusion and Growth"
Episode Synopsis
With key reforms underway, can Pakistan emerge as a regional hub for Islamic capital markets? We explore the strategic direction set by the Islamic Capital Market Development Committee and what it means for growth, innovation, and resilience. We ask how non-sovereign Sukuk issuance can be accelerated, and how capital markets will play a pivotal role in supporting the broader financial system conversion—unlocking new opportunities for both banking and non-banking sectors.Moderator:Farmida Bi, Chair, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific, Norton Rose FulbrightPanelists:Iffat Zehra Mankani, CEO, JS InvestmentsJawad Hashmi, General Manager, Chief Market Operations Officer, Pakistan Stock Exchange LimitedMuhammad Haris Munawar, Group Head - Wholesale Banking, BankIslami PakistanSyed Umair Alam Zaidi, SVP, Head of Debt Capital Markets and Syndications, Faysal Bank Limited
