The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) have applied to the Supreme Court to withdraw their appeals against the Federal Shariat Court’s (FSC) directive to the government to completely convert the banking system to Shariah-compliant banking by December 2027, according to Dar during his brief media appearance today.
Prior to this year, the FSC ordered the federal and provincial governments to alter the pertinent legislation and issued orders mandating that the nation’s banking system be interest-free by December 2027.
Following that, an appeal contesting the FSC decision was brought before the top court by commercial banks and the central bank.
