The bank, since the acquisition of Saudi Pak Commercial Bank, has launched several successful asset and liability products which will significantly improve future balance sheet spreads. The total deposits of the bank grew by an impressive Rs 7.9 billion to Rs 63.6 billion, reflecting a growth of 14% which outstrips the banking industry growth of 9% during the same period.
