Changes in Pakistan's Banking Sector

There was a drastic change in Pakistan’s banking and financial sector in the last few decades, which has now changed the views of banking law.

Also, the banks which were once determined to increase deposits at any cost are now reluctant to increase their capital costs, due to which the banking industry is in a state of depression. Due to the high increasing cost of living in Pakistan and inflation, many consumers who were once seen as risk-free by banks are now being denied loans. This resulted in litigation at a high rate in the banking sector of Pakistan.

Banks are now operating with a more active policy to improve the recovery of debt, while some aggressive banks have started to use measures that are sometimes too offensive, resulting in a violation of basic consumer rights.
