Reforming the State Bank of Pakistan: Leading Institutional Change with Integrity (Dr Ishrat Husain)

In this insightful excerpt, Dr. Ishrat Husain shares how he transformed the State Bank of Pakistan from a demoralized, poorly equipped institution into a modern, high-performing organization. Drawing on his experience as Governor, he explains how genuine consultation, employee ownership, merit-based appointments, and ethical consistency (“walk the talk”) became the foundation of sustainable reform. He also discusses how resisting nepotism, avoiding “kitchen cabinets,” and empowering young professionals helped create a culture of trust, accountability, and excellence.
