Introduction
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is the central bank of Pakistan. While its constitution, as
originally lay down in the State Bank of Pakistan Order 1948, remained basically unchanged
until January 1, 1974, when the bank was nationalized, the scope of its functions was
considerably enlarged. The State Bank of Pakistan Act 1956, with subsequent amendments,
forms the basis of its operations today.
History
Before independence on 14 August 1947, the Reserve Bank of India (Central Bank of India) was
the central bank for what is now Pakistan. On 30 December 1948 the British Government's
commission distributed the Bank of India's reserves between Pakistan and India - 30 percent(750 M gold) for Pakistan and 70 percent for India.
The losses incurred in the transition to independence were taken from Pakistan's share (a total of
230 million). In May, 1948 Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan) took steps to establish

monetary stability in Pakistan and generally to operate the currency and credit system of the
country to its advantage".
A large section of the state bank's duties were widened when the State Bank of Pakistan Act
1956 was introduced. It required the state bank to "regulate the monetary and credit system of
Pakistan and to foster its growth in the best national interest with a view to securing monetary
stability and fuller utilisation of the country’s productive resources". In February 1994, the State
Bank was given full autonomy, during the financial sector reforms.
On January 21, 1997, this autonomy was further strengthened when the government issued three
Amendment Ordinances (which were approved by the Parliament in May 1997). Those included
were the State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and Banks
Nationalisation Act, 1974. These changes gave full and exclusive authority to the State Bank to
regulate the banking sector, to conduct an independent monetary policy and to set limit on
government borrowings from the State Bank of Pakistan. The amendments to the Banks
Nationalisation Act brought the end of the Pakistan Banking Council (an institution established
to look after the affairs of NCBs) and allowed the jobs of the council to be appointed to the Chief
Executives, Boards of the Nationalised Commercial Banks (NCBs) and Development Finance
Institutions (DFIs). The State Bank having a role in their appointment and removal. The
amendments also increased the autonomy and accountability of the chief executives, the Boards
of Directors of banks and DFIs.
The State Bank of Pakistan also performs both the traditional and developmental functions to
achieve macroeconomic goals. The traditional functions may be classified into two groups:
Traditional functions
– Primary functions.
