SBP Unveils New Official Website Effective July 1, 2026

KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced the launch of its redesigned official website, which will go live on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and will be accessible to all stakeholders at www.sbp.org.pk.

According to the central bank, the revamped website has been developed to provide a faster, easier, and more user-friendly digital experience for citizens, businesses, financial institutions, researchers, journalists, and other stakeholders. Designed as a modern, secure, and inclusive digital platform, the new website offers improved access to SBP’s information and digital resources.

The launch marks an important milestone in the 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. 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 has also been designed to be fully responsive across desktops, smartphones, and other devices, ensuring a seamless browsing experience regardless of the platform being used.

To promote greater inclusivity and wider public outreach, the new website offers a bilingual interface in both English and Urdu, allowing users to switch between languages according to their preference. It has also been developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and incorporates accessibility features to improve usability for persons with disabilities.

Behind the enhanced user experience is a reorganized information architecture that presents key areas—including monetary policy, financial markets data, banking regulations, and other SBP functions—in a more logical and intuitive manner while preserving access to legacy content.

The central bank said the redesigned website strengthens SBP’s ability to communicate more effectively with the public and supports its broader vision of leveraging technology to deliver efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric services.

By making reliable information, official publications, and digital resources more readily available, the website is expected to promote financial literacy and inclusion while contributing to informed decision-making and stronger engagement with Pakistan’s financial system among all stakeholders.

While the new website will serve as the primary platform for all institutional information, publications, and resources, the previous version of the website will remain accessible through a dedicated link on the homepage until July 15, 2026, allowing stakeholders who wish to reference the earlier interface to do so during the transition period.
