The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) today issued the revised ‘Corporate Governance Regulatory Framework’ with the objective to further strengthen the corporate governance regime of banks and DFIs and to align the same with international standards and best practices.
The framework, which has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders, covers Fit & Proper Test (FPT) Criteria and other Corporate Governance regulatory requirements for the sponsor shareholders and beneficial owners, members of the Board of Directors, Presidents and CEOs and key executives of banks and DFIs.
All the existing regulatory requirements related to corporate governance have been consolidated and rationalized in this framework to improve consistency, understanding and usability for stakeholders. It may be noted that last such amendments were introduced in 2007.
