The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has clarified that SBP Governor Yaseen Anwar’s statement regarding the submission of loan defaulters’ list to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on February 26 has been incorrectly reported in a section of the press on Friday.
Clarifying the statement of the governor, the SBP spokesman pointed out that Anwar, while making submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance on Thursday, had not said the loan defaulters’ list would be furnished to the ECP on February 26.
“What the governor told the Senate Standing Committee was that the defaulters’ list would be updated by February 25 and be readily available thereafter to the Election Commission provided a request is received by the State Bank from ECP regarding the clearance of any candidate contesting the elections,” the spokesman said.
The spokesman said the SBP governor neither informed the Standing Committee nor the Election Commission about the submission of defaulters’ list to the ECP.
I think the list should aslo be publish on the SBP website.
