Introduction
Statistics Department is a core department of the Bank. It was
established in late 1949 by the founder
Governor (Mr.
Zahid Hussain) of the State Bank of Pakistan. Since its foundation,
the Department has been responsible for collection,
compilation, dissemination and publication of statistics on
economic, financial and monetary aspects most
pertinent to the central banking. The Department has a central
role in providing statistical data to the Government
and other policymakers. The system of data collection and processing
has gone through a major change
over the past few years. The data are being received on diskette
and the computations are more heavily computer
oriented. This has facilitated the dissemination of statistics
to a minimal lag.
