The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has introduced several key initiatives designed to connect overseas Pakistanis with the domestic financial system and provide them with secure investment and banking options.
The Roshan Digital Account (RDA) is a landmark initiative that allows all persons either natural or juridical who fall within the definition of non-resident persons under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 (XLIX of 2001) to open, operate and maintain RDA account with designated banks in Pakistan. Key features of RDA are as follows:
Home remittances are one of the key sources of foreign exchange for Pakistan and play a vital role in supporting the country's balance of payments, strengthening economic stability, and improving the livelihoods of millions of families. The State Bank of Pakistan, in collaboration with the Government of Pakistan, is committed to facilitating secure, convenient, and cost-effective remittance services through formal channels.
The Zarkhez-e Portal is a centralized digital platform designed to modernize agricultural finance by offering transparent, real-time access to credit schemes, data, and resources for farmers and financial institutions. By improving information flow and streamlining processes, the portal strengthens risk assessment, enhances credit visibility, and supports evidence-based policymaking—ultimately boosting rural financial inclusion and agricultural productivity.
