Please refer to the BSD Circular No. 3 of 2007 titled ‘Policy Framework in Banks /
DFIs’ and BSD Circular No. 04 of 2006 titled ‘Revised Forms of Annual Financial
Statements’.
2. Keeping in view the ever expanding risk profiles and the direct link of risk taking
behaviour with remuneration, there is a need to align the remuneration practices
with internationally adopted best principles and standards. Therefore, in order to
provide banks/DFIs with detailed policy guidance on the subject, State Bank of
Pakistan has developed ‘Guidelines on Remuneration Practices’ and minimum
benchmarks for ‘Additional Disclosures on Governance and Remuneration’.
The central idea of these guidelines is to make the Board and senior management
of banks / DFIs more accountable and responsible, and to align their compensation
with risk adjusted performance. The accountability of Board and senior
management also require that the remuneration policies of the institutions and
compensation of their Directors and Executives be disclosed in a fair, transparent
and timely manner.
6. In accordance with the new disclosures, the Note No. 39 of existing Forms of
Disclosures, prescribed through BSD Circular No. 04 of 2006, stands replaced with
Tables 3 and 4 as given in the ‘Additional Disclosures on Governance and
Remuneration’. Further, suitable amendments shall be made in the contents
under Note No. 30 i.e., ‘Administrative Expenses’ as prescribed in Table-4 of new
Forms of Disclosures. The banks/DFIs shall provide the information about items
enlisted under the ‘Qualitative Disclosures’ in a separate section related to
Corporate Governance in Chairman’s Report.
Yours truly,
