Insights
Despite an increase in bank accounts, Pakistan's credit outreach remains limited. Our private sector credit to GDP is just 14.8%, lagging behind countries like Egypt (30.8%) and Bangladesh (39%).
Pakistani women face significant borrowing disparity: Only 3.28% access formal loans, with smaller average amounts than men.
Credit card ownership paints a similar picture: Only 13.1% belong to women by Q1-2023. That's just 1.4% of female account holders with a credit card by December 2022.
A mere 3.6% of Pakistanis have borrowed from financial institutions, placing us fourth lowest out of 145 countries, per World Bank’s Findex.
