Shylocks in Land of Pure
October 3, 2008 The mark up for account holders is a miserly, 2-5 % on saving accounts and nothing on current accounts. The 'spread' they so get goes to provide high salaries and innumerable perks to the high bank officials.
The rest goes into banks' coffers as net profit. Is there nobody in Pakistan who could control these Shylocks? In their zeal for profiteering, they are virtually skinning the general public. -DR ZAHEER ASGHAR KHAN, Lahore Cantt., via e-mail, September 19.
