To& .8 Asia' Ban(9s. The fact remains that Muslim Commercial %an(' &osses an
e6cel:cut and historical im&ortance %eing the most senior and leading in terms
fluids and services to 2a(istan at all ages of life.

these savings is its %asic &ur&ose. Ban(s de&osit sur&lus from the &u%lic and

if there are no %an(s' and then there $ould %e concentration of $ealth in fe$
