In banking sector, in view of the State Bank's decision about fixation of exchange rates for currencies other than US dollar, it is apprehended that the foreign banks with more sophisticated operations will be better placed to face competition while the smaller ones lacking facilities will have to face tough competition. However, some circles are of the view that this major step forward toward liberalization of Forex currency chart free control in Pakistan should pave the way of the emergence of the system of free, uncontrolled convertibility, as ideally conducive to the demands of market-based economy.

Reforms in banking and capital market sectors in the country have avoided the risk of financial crisis experienced in tiger economies of East Asia, particularly, the FEBCs have protected the country from such a difficulty as these provided a self-correction mechanism.

However, some economists are of the firm view that Pakistan may find some difficulty in short-term commercial borrowings because of the heavy demand for bailout of the ailing economies of East Asia. According to them Pakistan is likely to face difficulty in borrowing from the market and it may be at a higher cost than before. Portfolio Investment too would dwindle.

Foreign Investment has been a major factor for surge in portfolio Investment in Pakistan. As a result of the crisis, portfolio funds have gone out in these economies. Confidence of foreign fund managers as well as foreign investors in the Asian stock markets has been badly shattered.

To contain the damage of the ongoing financial crises in East Asia, a recent IMF study has suggested a four-point guideline on which bold action is called for. Any hesitation, it warned, would be to their peril, and spread the contagion to other emerging markets.The main points of the guidelines are: fiscal policy should focus on reducing dependence on external savings, striking a balance between objectives of current account adjustments and correcting excesses of public sector; rigid monetary policies to contain excessive exchange rate depreciations; full vigil on banking sector regulations; and strengthening public and corporate governance, including increased transparency and accountability.

This recipe, the report stresses, is also good for other emerging markets to reduce their vulnerability. Pakistani stock markets may also witness withdrawal of funds by the foreign investors. The crash of Karachi Stock Market was an indication of the lack of interest on the part of foreign funds.

But there is a silver core in the dark cloud. First of all, US Senator Tom Harkin has said that American Investors have indicated their willingness to invest over two billion dollars in Pakistan for which they have approached the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) with a request to provide necessary insurance cover for this amount.

Secondly, The Asian Development Bank has released $ 125 million as first tranche of Capital Market Development Program (CMDP) loan for restructuring of the corporate sector in Pakistan.
