NIBAF Pakistan has successfully concluded a four day Executive AI Programme in Future Financial Industry at its Karachi Campus, providing State Bank of Pakistan officers with specialised training focused on artificial intelligence and its role in the future of the financial sector. The programme was conducted from August 18 to August 21, 2026, in a face to face format.
The executive programme was designed specifically for officers of the State Bank of Pakistan and focused on emerging applications of artificial intelligence within the financial industry. The four day training brought together central banking professionals for an intensive learning programme aimed at building awareness and capabilities around artificial intelligence and technology driven changes in financial services.
The programme was facilitated by Mr. Sajid Majeed, who led the training sessions throughout the four day programme. The sessions were conducted at NIBAF Pakistan’s Karachi Campus, providing participants with an in person learning environment focused on artificial intelligence and its potential applications within financial sector operations.
The Executive AI Programme in Future Financial Industry reflects the increasing role of artificial intelligence in financial institutions and central banking. AI based technologies are being applied across financial services for areas such as data analysis, operational processes, decision support and other technology enabled functions. Training programmes focused on these technologies can help financial sector professionals understand their potential applications and implications.
The programme concluded with a formal certificate distribution ceremony held at the Karachi Campus. Certificates were awarded to the participating officers by Ms. Lubna Farooq Malik, Chief Executive Officer of NIBAF Pakistan.
During the ceremony, Ms. Malik commended the officers for their dedication to embracing emerging technologies. She highlighted the importance of using advanced technologies to support improvements in efficiency and innovation across central banking operations.
The participation of State Bank of Pakistan officers gave the programme a specific focus on the application of artificial intelligence within central banking. As financial institutions continue to adopt digital systems and advanced technologies, central banking professionals also require an understanding of how these developments can affect operational processes and the wider financial industry.
The four day face to face programme provided participants with an opportunity to engage directly with the facilitator and explore the subject in a structured executive training environment. Holding the programme at NIBAF Pakistan’s Karachi Campus also provided a dedicated setting for officers to participate in the sessions and complete the specialised training.
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant to the financial sector as institutions assess how technology can improve efficiency, support decision making and strengthen operational capabilities. For central banking professionals, understanding these developments can contribute to informed assessments of emerging technologies and their potential use across financial operations.
