The Balochistan government has approved the establishment of its own Bank of Balochistan, a long-standing demand of the province’s people and business community. The decision, taken in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, follows a feasibility report declaring the project viable. The CM directed officials to prepare a comprehensive plan within a week, stressing that the bank will provide accessible services to traders, industrialists, investors, and the public. He added that the initiative will boost economic activity, create jobs for youth, and play a key role in stabilising the provincial economy by utilising local resources.
