April 03, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan’s banking sector has deployed over Rs235 billion today (April 3) into the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA), in a major liquidity injection aimed at stabilizing the country’s strained power sector payment chain.

Leading the charge, Meezan Bank Limited emerged as the largest contributor with PKR 38.96 billion, followed by Habib Bank Limited at Rs31.17 billion and National Bank of Pakistan with Rs27.38 billion.

Among other major participants, Allied Bank Limited contributed Rs21.78 billion, while United Bank Limited injected Rs20.75 billion into the facility.

Mid-tier contributions were led by Faysal Bank Limited with Rs14.74 billion, Bank AL Habib Limited at Rs13.07 billion, and MCB Bank Limited providing Rs12.83 billion.
