The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched its redesigned official website, which went live on Wednesday and is now accessible to all stakeholders at www.sbp.org.pk. The revamped platform promises a faster, easier, and more user-friendly digital experience for citizens, businesses, financial institutions, researchers, journalists, and other stakeholders.
Key Features of the New Website
Designed as a modern, secure, and inclusive digital platform, the new website provides easier access to SBP’s information. It features an intuitive interface with simplified navigation, enabling visitors to find information more quickly and efficiently. Enhanced search functionality and filtering options make it easier to locate data, circulars, regulations, publications, press releases, and other official content.
The website is fully responsive across desktops, smartphones, and other devices, ensuring a seamless browsing experience. To promote greater inclusivity and wider public outreach, the website offers a bilingual interface in English and Urdu, allowing users to switch between languages according to their preference.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the website incorporates accessibility features that improve usability for persons with disabilities. Behind the improved user experience is a reorganized information architecture that presents key areas such as monetary policy, financial markets data, banking regulations, and other SBP functions in a more logical and intuitive manner, while preserving access to legacy content.
Digital Transformation Milestone
The launch marks an important milestone in SBP’s digital transformation agenda and reflects its continued commitment to transparency, innovation, and meaningful stakeholder engagement. Developed following extensive research and stakeholder consultations, the website has been comprehensively redesigned to better serve the diverse needs of its users.
The revamped website strengthens SBP’s ability to communicate effectively with the public and supports the Bank’s broader vision of leveraging technology to deliver efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric services. By making reliable information and digital resources more readily available, the website will augment financial literacy and inclusion, while contributing to informed decision-making and stronger engagement with the financial system among all stakeholders.
Transition Period for Previous Version
The new website will provide all institutional information, publications, and resources in an enhanced and user-friendly interface. However, to facilitate stakeholders who wish to reference the earlier interface, the previous version of the website will remain available through a dedicated link on the homepage until July 15, 2026.
