About Us / Departments / Risk Management Department  


The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is exposed to a wide array of financial and non financial risks such as market, credit, liquidity, operational, strategic and reputational risks. These risks emanate exclusively from its statutory functions and its lead role in the development of national financial system. The SBP also functions within an environment characterised by continuous change and uncertainty. This requires constant monitoring and analysis of, and appropriate response to, potential and actual risks emanating from its statutory obligations, the evolving global financial and economic landscape. In order to effectively manage and to keep such risks within acceptable limits, the highest governance standards, both in terms of the reporting lines and organization, are key elements of the risk management function at SBP. For that purpose, a state-of-the-art comprehensive risk monitoring and reporting framework is required, that is capable of providing decision-making bodies with appropriate and timely risk management input.

In accordance with SBP Vision 2020, Risk Management Department (RMD) has been entrusted with implementing a comprehensive Enterprise Wide risk management framework to effectively deal with various types of risks in order to achieve organizational objectives.
