In a continued effort to enhance institutional leadership and strategic capabilities across the financial services sector, the National Institute of Banking and Finance (NIBAF) Pakistan successfully conducted a focused training session titled “Capacity Building of Senior Management of Pakistan Currency Exchange” on June 20, 2025, at its Karachi Campus.
The one-day training program was specifically designed for the senior officers of Pakistan Currency Exchange and was led by Mr. Abdul Qadeer Akram, a distinguished figure in the domains of financial management and institutional development. The session reflected NIBAF’s commitment to equipping senior leadership in financial institutions with the tools, frameworks, and insights required for navigating a rapidly evolving economic and regulatory landscape.
Mr. Akram, who brings decades of experience in finance, governance, and policy advisory, delivered the session with a strong focus on aligning organizational objectives with modern financial practices and strategic risk management. The program addressed core themes such as organizational resilience, institutional accountability, operational efficiency, and leadership in financial environments undergoing structural changes.
With Pakistan’s financial sector moving toward increased transparency, digitization, and regulatory enforcement, such targeted training programs are becoming critical for currency exchange institutions, which operate at the intersection of financial mobility and regulatory oversight. The session offered participants not only theoretical models but also practical case studies relevant to the operational realities of currency exchange businesses in Pakistan.
The training emphasized the importance of forward-thinking leadership, financial stewardship, and responsive governance in sustaining institutional credibility and public trust. Participants were engaged in interactive discussions and strategy workshops, allowing them to examine policy compliance, risk mitigation techniques, and institutional agility in times of economic volatility.
By hosting this program, NIBAF reaffirmed its role as a key capacity-building institution for Pakistan’s financial industry, with a particular focus on upskilling senior executives. The presence of senior officials from Pakistan Currency Exchange demonstrated a strong commitment from the organization’s leadership to continually invest in the professional growth and strategic mindset of its top-tier management.
The session also facilitated dialogue on the evolving role of exchange companies in the broader financial system, particularly in the context of regulatory tightening and growing expectations for institutional governance and anti-money laundering compliance.
This initiative represents another step forward in NIBAF’s long-term mission to foster professional excellence and institutional strength across all levels of the financial ecosystem in Pakistan. Through expert-led programs and tailored training initiatives, NIBAF continues to support sustainable development and innovation within the banking and financial services landscape.
