Banks Are Pakistan’s Partners, Says Atif Bajwa

Big words from Atif Bajwa, Chairman of the PBS’25 Steering Committee and boss of Bank Alfalah! He says banks give 54% of their earnings to the government, so they should be treated like true partners. And he’s got a point—banks have always been there when Pakistan needed them.

Always Ready to Help

Atif Bajwa shared this at a recent event: “Whenever the government has asked, we’ve stepped up. We’re proud to keep doing this for Pakistan’s good.” He’s saying banks don’t just sit back—they jump in to support the country, no questions asked. Whether it’s loans, projects, or emergencies, the banking sector has Pakistan’s back.

A Fair Deal

With more than half their income—54%—going straight to the government, Atif believes banks deserve respect as partners, not just money-makers. “We’re one of the most open and honest parts of the economy,” he added. That means banks play fair, show their books, and keep things clean—something not every sector can say!

Building Pakistan Together

This isn’t about complaining—it’s about teamwork. Atif says banks are fully committed to Pakistan’s growth. They want to keep helping, but they also hope the government sees their hard work. “We trust our efforts won’t go unnoticed,” he said, looking forward to a stronger bond.

Why It Matters

As of April 10, 2025, this message hits home. Banks aren’t just ATMs—they’re a big part of Pakistan’s story. With their support, roads get built, businesses grow, and people get jobs. Atif’s call is simple: let’s work as a team for a better Pakistan.
