 HISTORY/BACKGROUND

State bank of Pakistan is the central bank of Pakistan. It was established in 1948. Initially
state bank of Pakistan was entrusted with the task to “regulate the issue of bank notes and
keeping of reserves with a view to securing monetary stability in Pakistan and generally to
operate the currency and credit system of the country to its advantage" (SBP order, 1948). The
headquarters are located in the financial capital of Pakistan, Karachi with its second
headquarters in the capital, Islamabad.
In financial sector reforms of 1994 State Bank of Pakistan got full autonomy. “On
January 21, 1997 this autonomy was further strengthened when the government issued three
Amendment Ordinances. 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” (Wikipedia, 2010). Currently its
primary functions include regulating banking sector, maintenance of public accounts, devising
monetary policy, management of public debt, issuance of currency notes, and maintaining
inflation.
State Bank of Pakistan Banking Services Corporation SBP-MSC was established in
2002 in order to perform operational functions of SBP (SBP website). SBP-MSC is subsidiary
of State Bank of Pakistan having 16 offices in major cities of the country and its key functional
and operational areas include currency management, foreign exchange operations and
adjudication, export finance scheme, payment & settlement systems, and banking services to the
government. While State Bank of Pakistan performs the important function of policy making,
SBP-MSCs handle most of the operational areas (SBP website).

It is mainly through money and foreign exchange market that SBP implements its
monetary policy stance. To implement its monetary policy, SBP operationally focuses on
controlling short-term interbank interest rate – overnight money market repo rate – through the
use of various monetary policy tools (OMOs, Interest Rate Corridor, Reserve Requirements, FX
Swaps, etc.). The short-term rates translate in to other longer-term market interest rates, such as
KIBOR, that are used as benchmark for lending to businesses and households. In the
transmission mechanism, efficient financial markets increase the efficiency and effectiveness of
monetary policy transmission by reducing various uncertainties and improving translation of
short-term interest rates to pricing of longer-term loans.

 SUGGESTION & RECOMMENDATION

It was observed that the major blockage in payment system is the physical movement of
the instrument. Cheque is the most widely accepted Instrument to settle transactions in the
world. Paper cheques provide consumers and businesses critical alternative payments
mechanism. Today billions of cheques are written and processed each year, and consumers
and businesses remain confident and satisfied with writing cheques.

 Cheque Transaction System.

 Online data usage to save time.
 Token issuing and cash counters should be placed together.
 Proper display on all counters.
 Software’s should be updated.
 Removing communication gap.

25
 CONCLUSION

SBP greatest strength is their financial background, which happens to be so strong that
even in current market situation they are still in the position to lend loans to other banks
and have also reported profits in the previous quarter.

SBP has gathered large amount of the market for itself. They need to put in systems
such as a strong Employee Monitoring System which provides transparency in all their
processes and employee activity. They can and must learn from the best case practices of
other bank international as well.
