Finance Division Withdraws Decision to Sell Majority Stake in PCGC to UK The Ministry of Finance has retracted its decision to sell 51 percent of its stake in the Pakistan Credit Guarantee Company (PCGC) to a UK-based firm. The withdrawal comes in response to questions raised after the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) had approved the conversion of the 12-year old endowment program into an equity holding. The ECC had initially approved transactions for a majority share buyout through Karandaaz Pakistan, a loan-giving entity owned by the Bill Gates Melinda Foundation, and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) based in the UK.
