April 10, 2019 (MLN): Fitch Solutions Macro Research (a unit of Fitch Group) has just published an outlook report on Pakistan’s banks.

According to analysts at Fitch Solutions, the Pakistani banking sector will continue to face headwinds in 2019 and 2020, on the back of rising interest rates and slowing economic growth.

Moreover, Fitch believes that the government’s direct borrowing from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) increases the risk of reduced transparency and could potentially lead to higher inflation in the country.

“However, other key performance metrics suggest that the banking system is broadly stable from a systemic perspective,” admitted the research house.
