impact on the banking industry. Economic measures to boost

age distribution, career attitudes and emphasis on safety affect
the investment behavior of customers (see Exhibit 13.2).
Hong Kong:-
• High concentration of banks, almost 70 of the 100 best banks
in the world have branches in Hong Kong

standards in the market, and institutions are handled
prudently.

listed Hong Kong third in September 2015.
• In 2001, china became a member of WTO. From then, the
government policies have been helpful to accommodate
foreign banks to establish in Hong Kong and the Mainland.

• The scenario in Dubai is different from the rest of the places,
as recently there is a surge of Islamic banking in that region.
Most of the banks are opening Islamic banking divisions or
converted to Islamic banking itself/
• The government of UAE is concentrating on infrastructural
development in UAE, which gives banks to participate in these
projects.

peace-loving country.
• So PNB should try to formulate strategies which pertain to
only this country.
UK:-
• PNB has fully owned subsidiary in UK. It has seven branches
across UK.
• Political interference looms over banking sector which marks
a question on the capacity of government, and its policies and
frameworks need to be reviewed.
