Pakistan leads regional financial group

Islamabad holds the permanent chairmanship of an SCO working group focused on poverty alleviation and improving living standards. The country also assumed chairmanship of the SCO Interbank Consortium for 2026-27 with HBL Chairman Sultan Ai Allana taking charge. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar noted that Pakistan evolved from observer status to full membership since 2017. This development coincides with Pakistan hosting the next SCO Council of Heads of State meeting in August 2027.

The Ministry of Finance stated the role reflects commitment to promoting regional trade and investment connectivity. Pakistan also chairs the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure while expanding focus from security to economic development.
