The emerging organizational, structural, institutional as well as regulatory and policy developments relating to economic, finance and economic growth in an era of globalization for Pakistan is seen as important to an understanding of the transition from national financial markets to well integrated parts of the global market and of the implication of this process for the national economy. Shakil Faruqi’s book – financial System and Economic Development – Pakistan (hereafter referred as FSED) is thus, a welcome addition to the field. This book seeks to examine the growing volume of integration between financial system and economic growth within globalization in developing countries, in general, and for Pakistan, in particular.
