CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is the gold certification in Investment Financial stream.

In finance CFA is the best option
CMA(2 papers) &CPA(4 paper) are good in DXB market and requires much less time for completion as compared to CFA or CIMA,ACCA, CA

Carrying a CFA certification will not yield much fruits in Pakistan. However, if you manage to secure a professional position in UAE, Saudia and Kuwait etc., it will be a best option to go for CFA. If you want to stay in Pakistan, either in Banking or any other sector, you need a suitable local/foreign degree. Consider adding MBA from LUMS, IBA or KSBL to your credentials. Otherwise, apply for foreign MBA degree in Finance or banking.

CFA only benefits handful of individuals who already hold strong academic degrees from top notch universities. Otherwise, scope of CFA in Pakistan is quite limited.

CFA can only assist you in securing a position in the risk management department of a bank. Apart from that, CFA will not benefit. If you want to work for bank/financial industry in Pakistan, CFA can strengthen your credentials but it cannot allow you to let alone secure a job.

CFA is quite expensive and most of seasoned finance professionals who start doing it take 2-3 attempt of each Paper.

Before starting a certification you should identify the specialization niche. E.g. Management Accounting, Financial Management, Internal Audit, Securities or Risk Management etc.
