September 09, 2025 (MLN):  State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), in its continuous efforts to strengthen consumer protection and ensure the Fair Treatment of Consumers (FTC), has released the draft regulatory framework titled “Business Conduct and Fair Treatment of Consumers Regulatory Framework (BC&FRF)”.
