Please do not use the term ‘state of the art’ for anything in this country. I have seen buildings described as ‘state of the art’ and observed serious leakage/ seepage in such buildings a month after their construction.
As for Faysal Bank, I visited one of its branches in Islamabad only once some time back and my experience was not good at all. I am not sure what the bank will do in this venture.
