Top officials of National Bank of Pakistan visit Bangladesh

Muneer Kamal, chairman of National Bank of Pakistan, and Syed Iqbal Ashraf, president, yesterday left Dhaka after completing their four-day official visit to Bangladesh.

The officials met the governor of Bangladesh Bank and distinguished clients of the bank during the visit, the bank said in a statement recently.

They expressed their willingness to appoint local talents to expand their business in Bangladesh; and as part of the effort the bank has appointed a Bangladesh national, Md Quamruzzaman, as its country manager in June this year.

The National Bank of Pakistan is the largest state-owned commercial bank in Pakistan. The bank injected $162 million as capital into its Bangladesh operations to expand their local footprint in the last one and a half years, according to the statement.
