As
you are aware, Government of Pakistan has taken various initiatives
to promote Information Technology education in Pakistan especially
at grass root level.
In this regard Ministry of Science and Technology has
initiated, programmes for training of teachers throughout
the country. These
programmes are expected to result in a tremendous increase
in demand for purchase of computers through consumer/personal
loans from the banking system.
Although the banks and financial institutions are free
to determine the pricing of loans, we shall appreciate if
banks and financial institutions may look into providing consumer
loans for financing/purchase of computers at special/low mark
up rates to make the purchase of computers affordable and,
therefore, make the programmes to promote Information Technology
successful. The
likely expansion in the volume of business through a reduction
in mark up rate should be factored into your calculations.
