Admitting that the pandemic had worsened the investment-saving gap, she observed that Pakistan’s financial sector navigated the shock avoiding serious financial crises of the magnitude faced by many other developing countries.

Dr. Shamshad noted that expansion in the capital market had assumed urgency as Pakistan’s growth depended on improvement in its productivity through financing infrastructure gap, raising small, and medium enterprises financing and ensuring financial inclusion.

The talk was followed by an interactive session with the Speaker.
