Compliments to Mr. Atif Bajwa for a better visibility of BA in the space of CSR, facilitating/catering customers compliance to the need. With that good work, Bank Alfalah should also address other important issues related to CSR for existing institutional customers which are facing difficulties for matters which has no reasoning for delays to bonafide exporters in Karachi, and approached the forum of the Banker of Financial Times for help.
