The board had taken this decision soon after the joining of the new NBP President Arif Usmani that has shocked the officials of the bank and the representatives of the NBP Shareholders Association. President NBP Shareholders Association Muhammad Hanif Bhai has expressed surprise and shock after knowing that the bank has created provisions of more than 14 billion rupees bad loans that include more than 10 billion rupees owed by the Omni Group.

How the NBP President has supported this massive provisions especially those linked to the Omni Group at a time when the PTI government was making hectic efforts to recover plundered money, including unrealistic loans given to influential businessmen and companies. NBP Shareholders Association has decided to inform the Finance Minister about this fraudulent provisions by the National Bank of Pakistan that would not only deprive the shareholders of profit but also cause colossal financial losses to the bank.
