The Rs54 billion HASCOL scam, explained | Profit Explains profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/02/07/the… via @Profitpk

UBL has officially become Pakistan’s largest bank by deposits. After a record breaking 15-month run including a massive profit for the first quarter of 2026, the bank has taken a thin lead over HBL, which saw a reduction in deposits in the same period. But how did UBL get here? The growth story has hinged around a top-down approach by the bank’s leadership. The instructions from the top are to get as many current accounts as possible and offer other freebies and incentives to achieve that single-focused goal, as long as the overall deal makes a profit for UBL. For meeting these goals, a regional head has been given a Land Cruiser LC300 worth approx Rs 80- 90 million as his official car (the same car that the President is entitled to) as a reward for achieving a current account portfolio of Rs 300 billion. "This is the official policy now: if you can grow your current account portfolio to Rs 300 billion, you get an LC 300 from the bank." A certain executive in the UAE branch was even given a Porsche by the bank for securing a large account. But that is not the extent of it. Read more at: profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2026/04/17/ubl…

In 2015, after running Servaid for 10 years, the Servis Group decided to focus on their shoe business and sold the pharmacy franchise chain to a few prominent Saudi investors. Another decade later, those Saudi investors have abandoned ship. {Thread}

The idea was that if this generated returns, the Saudis would also invest in hospitals in Pakistan. What happened in the decade that followed is a case study esp for foreign investors looking for private equity deals in Pakistan. Read Profit's exclusive: profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2024/04/15/ser…

The reason was vague & didn’t quite pass the smell test. People within the industry and the company were also taken by surprise, which led to many speculations. Over the past few weeks, @Profitpk has dug into what exactly went down at Al Meezan Investment: profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2024/03/31/pak…

Pakistan’s billion-dollar fund manager resigns quietly as SECP investigates suspicious transactions. Here’s what went down: 1/n

@zuhair_abbasi 🤣

I am so disappointed. I was so expecting Donald Lu to accept the government he was representing was involved in ousting a government of another country.

@zuhair_abbasi @Profitpk This and the general limitations of data compiled by the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment is covered in the story. In hindsight, we should have mentioned that in the tweet as well.

@Profitpk No. You are wrongly using workers registered for employment aboard as the number who have emigrated to the UK. By this metric, to date, we only have 8860 people in the US in the last 60 years.

Here is a startling statistic. More Pakistanis emigrated to the United Kingdom in just the last 14 months (Jan 2023 to Feb 2024), than they did in the previous 51 years (1971-2022).

After seven years of slumber, SECP files four criminal cases for stock manipulation, all against this one man. What exactly did he do, and how? For details read: PSX ka Pied Piper Kaun? The SECP thinks it’s a Lahori Broker you’ve probably never heard of profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2024/03/17/psx…

Don't let them distract you. They will now try to switch the debate to government formation and what not. This was the biggest vote hiest in the country's history. Get it back. All else is distraction.

The fake votes added to the figure of total votes has resulted in a turnout of 56% whereas the turnout for the provincial constituencies that fall within NA 128 has been accepted at 39.5%. This is fraud at it's most grotesque. Now polling bags are being filled up with bogus votes

Mqm wins back its voters. This is satire.
