KARACHI: The central bank on Tuesday earmarked more than Rs100 billion in

The State Bank of Pakistan announced refinance facilities to support manufacturing and health sectors to overcome the ill-effects of Covid-19. The relief came on the heels of 75 basis points reduction in interest rate to 12.50 percent that was less than the market’s anticipation in the wake of economic slowdown.
