Preface
When our respected Prof. Riaz Ahmad Mian, told us about the term assignment and topic of our own choice, at that time i decided to go for the most important bank,state bank of Pakistani had many reasons while selecting this vast and difficult topic. State bank of Pakistan is responsible for the efficient and effective control of whole banking sector in Pakistan. Banking sector in any economy plays a very vital and inevitable role. Overall monitoring of banking sector, control of inflation, foreign exchange and issue of money are the primarily tasks of the state bank of Pakistan. i At the level where we are standing now it was very difficult for us to complete a project on the state bank of Pakistan but with the blessings of Almighty God and the Guideline given by Mr. Riaz Ahmad Mian the task became easy one. We have put our best efforts in discussing state bank comprehensively. We collected basic data about the state bank mainly from website of state bank, state bank Lahore office. We took also help from a book Money banking and finance written by the Prof Mr. Riaz Ahmad Main. The whole assignment is divided into 4 parts. In first part history of state bank, in 2nd part, we have discussed the core functions and some important departments, in 3rd we have put light to monetary policy and tools of monetary policy and in the last part we have provided details about swot analysis and also highlight some other areas of state bank. Although we have tried to present a correct and clear view of state bank of Pakistan but as it is the most difficult and complex task, so there might be many mistakes. It is very important to us to mention the name of JAVED IQBAL MARTH, the DCM of banking sector of SBP, who co-operated with us in a very lenient way. We shall be obliged if any one inform us about our mistake in this project.

Quaid-i-Azam's Speech On the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of The State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July, 1948.
"Mr. Governor, Directors of State Bank, Ladies and Gentlemen. The opening of the State Bank of Pakistan symbolises the sovereignty of our State in the financial sphere and I am very glad to be here today to perform the opening ceremony. It was not considered feasible to start a Bank of our own simultaneously with the coming into being of Pakistan in August last year. A good deal of preparatory work must precede the inauguration of an institution responsible for such technical and delicate work as note issue and banking. To allow for this preparation, it was provided, under the Pakistan Monetary System and Reserve Bank Order, 1947, that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to be the currency and banking authority of Pakistan till the 30th September, 1948. Later on it was felt that it would be in the best interests of our State if the Reserve Bank of India were relieved of its functions in Pakistan, as early as possible. The State of transfer of these functions to a Pakistan agency was consequently advanced by three months in agreement with the Government of India and the Reserve Bank. It was at the same time decided to establish a Central Bank of Pakistan in preference to any other agency for managing our currency and banking. This decision left very little time for the small band of trained personnel in this field in Pakistan to complete the preliminaries and they have by their untiring effort and hard work completed their task by the due date which is very creditable to them, and I wish to record a note of our appreciation of their labours. As you have observed, Mr. Governor in undivided India banking was kept a close preserve of non-Muslims and their migration from Western Pakistan has caused a good deal of dislocation in the economic life of our young State. In order that the wheels of commerce and industry should run smoothly, it is imperative that the vacuum caused by the exodus of non-Muslims should be filled without delay. I am glad to note that schemes for training Pakistan nationals in banking are in hand. I will watch their progress with interest and I am confident that the State Bank will receive the cooperation of all concerned including the banks and Universities in pushing them forward. Banking will provide a new and wide field in which the genius of our young men can find full play. I am sure that they will come forward in large numbers to take advantage of the training facilities which are proposed to be provided. While doing so, they will not only be benefiting themselves but also contributing to the well-being of our State.
I need hardly dilate on the important role that the State Bank will have to play in regulating the economic life of our country. The monetary policy of the bank will have a direct bearing on our trade and commerce, both inside Pakistan as well as with the outside world and it is only to be desired that your policy should encourage maximum production and a free flow of trade. The monetary policy pursued during the war years contributed, in no small measure, to our present day economic problems. The abnormal rise in the cost of living has hit the poorer sections of society including those with fixed incomes very hard indeed and is responsible to a great extent for the prevailing unrest in the country. The policy of the Pakistan Government is to stabilise prices at a level that would be fair to the producer, as well as the consumer. I hope your efforts will be directed in the same direction in order to tackle this crucial problem with success. I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research Organization in evolving banking practices compatible with Islamic ideas of social and economic life. The economic system of the West has created almost insoluble problems for humanity and to many of us it appears that only a miracle can save it from disaster that is not facing the world. It has failed to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the international field. On the contrary, it was largely responsible for the two world wars in the last half century. The Western world, in spite of its advantages, of mechanization and industrial efficiency is today in a worse mess than ever before in history. The adoption of Western economic theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contended people. We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind. May the Sate Bank of Pakistan prosper and fulfil the high ideals which have been set as its goal. In the end I thank you, Mr. Governor, for the warm welcome given to me by you and your colleagues, and the distinguished guests who have graced this occasion as a mark of their good wishes and the honour your have done me in inviting me to perform this historic opening ceremony of the State Bank which I feel will develop into one of our greatest national institutions and play its part fully throughout the world."

State Bank of Pakistan is the Central Bank of the country. While its constitution, as originally lay down in the State Bank of Pakistan Order 1948, remained basically unchanged until 1st January 1974 when the Bank was nationalised, the scope of its functions was considerably enlarged. The State Bank of Pakistan Act 1956, with subsequent amendments, forms the basis of its operations today. Under the State Bank of Pakistan Order 1948, the Bank was charged with the duty to "regulate the issue of Bank notes and keeping of reserves with a view to securing monetary stability in Pakistan and generally to operate the currency and credit system of the country to its advantage". The scope of the Banks operations was considerably widened in the State Bank of Pakistan Act 1956, which required the Bank to "regulate the monetary and credit system of Pakistan and to foster its growth in the best national interest with a view to securing monetary stability and fuller utilisation of the countrys productive resources". Under financial sector reforms, the State Bank of Pakistan was granted autonomy in February 1994. On 21st January, 1997, this autonomy was further strengthened by issuing three Amendment Ordinances (which were approved by the Parliament in May, 1997) namely, State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and Banks Nationalisation Act, 1974. The changes in the State Bank Act gave full and exclusive authority to the State Bank to regulate the banking sector, to conduct an independent monetary policy and to set limit on government borrowings from the State Bank of Pakistan. Like a Central Bank in any developing country, State Bank of Pakistan performs both the traditional and developmental functions to achieve macro-economic goals. The traditional functions, which are generally performed by central banks almost all over the world, may be classified into two groups: (a) the primary functions including issue of notes, regulation and supervision of the financial system, bankers bank, lender of the last resort, banker to Government, and conduct of monetary policy, and (b) the secondary functions including the agency functions like management of public debt, management of foreign exchange, etc., and other functions like advising the government on policy matters and maintaining close relationships with international financial institutions. The nontraditional or promotional functions, performed by the State Bank include development of financial framework, institutionalisation of savings and investment, provision of training facilities to bankers, and provision of credit to priority sectors. The State Bank also has been playing an active part in the process of islamization of the banking system. The main functions and responsibilities of the State Bank can be broadly categorised as under.
REGULATION OF LIQUIDITY
State Bank of Pakistan has been entrusted with the responsibility to formulate and conduct monetary and credit policy in a manner consistent with the Governments targets for growth and inflation and the recommendations of the Monetary and Fiscal Policies Co-ordination Board with respect to macro-economic policy objectives. The basic objective underlying its functions is twofold i.e. the maintenance of monetary stability, thereby leading towards the stability in the domestic prices, as well as the promotion of economic growth. To regulate the volume and the direction of flow of credit to different uses and sectors, the Bank makes use of both direct and indirect instruments of monetary management. Until recently, the monetary and credit scenario was characterised by acute segmentation of credit markets with all the attendant distortions. Pakistan embarked upon a program of financial sector reforms in the late 1980s. A number of fundamental changes have since been made in the conduct of monetary management which essentially marked a departure from administrative controls and quantitative restrictions to market-based monetary management. A reserve money management programme has been developed. In terms of the programme, the intermediate target of M2 would be achieved by observing the desired path of reserve money - the operating target. While use in now being made of such indirect instruments of control as cash reserve ratio and liquidity ratio, the programs reliance is mainly on open market operations.
Of these institutions, a new Department namely, NBFIs Regulation and Supervision Department was set up. Moreover, in order to safeguard the interest of ultimate users of the financial services, and to ensure the viability of institutions providing these services, the State Bank has issued a comprehensive set of Prudential Regulations (for commercial banks) and Rules of Business (for NBFIs). The "Prudential Regulations" for banks, besides providing for credit and risk exposure limits, prescribe guide lines relating to classification of short-term and long-term loan facilities, set criteria for management, prohibit criminal use of banking channels for the purpose of money laundering and other unlawful activities, lay down rules for the payment of dividends, direct banks to refrain from window dressing and prohibit them to extend fresh loam to defaulters of old loans. The existing format of balance sheet and profit-and-loss account has been changed to conform to international standards, ensuring adequate transparency of operations. Revised capital requirements, envisaging minimum paid up capital of Rs.500 million have been enforced. Effective December, 1997, every bank was required to maintain capital and unencumbered general reserves equivalent to 8 per cent of its risk weighted assets.
effective 19th May 1999, the exchange rate has been unified, with the introduction of market-based floating exchange rate system, under which the exchange rate is determined by the demand and supply positions in the foreign exchange market. The surrender requirement of foreign exchange receipts on account of exports and services, previously required to be made to State Bank through authorized dealers, has now been done away with and the commercial banks and other authorised dealers have been made free to hold and undertake transaction in foreign currencies. As the custodian of countrys external reserves, the State Bank is also responsible for the management of the foreign exchange reserves. The task is being performed by an Investment Committee which, after taking into consideration the overall level of reserves, maturities and payment obligations, takes decision to make investment of surplus funds in such a manner that ensures liquidity of funds as well as maximises the earnings. These reserves are also being used for intervention in the foreign exchange market. For this purpose, a Foreign Exchange Dealing Room has been set up at the Central Directorate of State Bank of Pakistan and services of a Forex Expert have been acquired.
The scope of Banks operations has been widened considerably by including the economic growth objective in its statute under the State Bank of Pakistan Act 1956.
The Banks participation in the development process has been in the form of rehabilitation of banking system in Pakistan, development of new financial institutions and debt instruments in order to promote financial intermediation, establishment of Development Financial Institutions (DFIs), directing the use of credit according to selected development priorities, providing subsidised credit, and development of the capital market.

NOT POL

1:
THEORY:
CURRENCY PRINCIPLE
The currency principle is based on 100% gold backing. According to this principle CENTRAL BANK must keep 100% reserves against each and every note issued. So there will be full convertibility under such system.
MERITS;
FULL SAFETY:
This principle is 100% safe as there is 100% backing. So central bank is able to convert any number of notes into equivalent reserves of gold. So there will be full safety and there will be no danger or fears of bank runs and panics.
NO OVER ISSUE:
The system will restrict the central authority from over issuing notes. Hence there will be an effective control over inflation.
STABILITY:
The 100% backing gives an element of stability to this system. The value of currency remains stable and it enjoys a greater degree of public confidence.
CONFIDENCE:
The currency issued under this principle enjoys a complete confidence of public.
DEMERITS:
Following are the demerits of this principle.
INELASTIC:
This system is highly inelastic and rigid. As 100% backing is required so when gold reserves are not available central bank cannot issue notes, even though the economic situation demands issuance of notes.
NO USE OF GOLD:
Further this system makes an inefficient use of gold. Tons of gold is stored in central treasury and no effective use is made of it.
MERITS:
ELASTIC SUPPLY:
The principle gives an elastic supply of currency. As there is no restriction of 100% backing of gold, so central bank can issue currency in response to change in economic and monetary situation.
ECONOMICAL:
This principle is economical in sense that only a percentage of notes issued are backed by gold. So rest of gold can be used for other purposes.
USAGE OF GOLD:
This system allows the government or issuing authority to make effective and efficient use of gold and metallic reserves. As only proportional of notes issued are to be backed by gold. So major part of countrys gold reserves can be used to fulfill other economic requirements.
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE:
This system also enjoys a good degree of public confidence just like currency principle. People have a good trust on currency as it has been declared as legal tender by issuing authority.
HELPFUL IN EMERGENCY:
This principle is helpful in emergency. This means that in times of need such as wars or natural disasters government can print notes without keeping 100% reserves.
DEMERITS:
DANGER OF OVER ISSUE:
The danger of over issue always exists in this principle. As no 100% backing is required so there is tendency towards issuance of notes which may lead to inflation that can be disastrous for the economy.
LACK OF CONVERTIBILITY:
As there is no 100% backing so bank failure may occur in a very unlikely situation if all notes are presented for converting into gold. However there is very rare chance that such situation appears.
ME NO
Hailey college of banking and finance
MERITS:
Controlled supply;
Under this system the supply of currency note can be held under control. The control can be exercised by way of fiduciary limit.
DEMERITS:
IN ELASTIC:
This system was adopted by ENGLAND in 1844 but it was subsequently abandoned in 1913. The major reasons were that of inelasticity and failure to response towards the changing economic needs. This means that if economy is rapidly developing than there will be increasing demand for the currency and credit. At this moment if required volume of gold is not available than bank will not be able to issue notes. This will produce adverse effects on the economy.
MERITS:
A WIDELY PREVAILED SYSTEM:
This system remained in force in many parts of the world for different time period. This system is also adopted by UNITED STATES and UK and many other economically stronger countries. This method ensures considerable and moderate control over supply of currency.
ELASTIC:
This system is elastic in sense that if economy is under expansion than naturally there will be a need to expand the currency and credit. In such situation CENTRAL BANK will be at ease under this system to expand the supply of currency.
RESPONSIVE:
This system has high degree of responsiveness. This means that if economy demands an increase in the supply of currency than under this system appropriate and immediate response can be taken by Central Monetary Authorities.
DEMERITS:
RIGID:
This system is rigid. As notes cannot be issued over a particular limit with out keeping Government Securities, so this may lead to rigid supply of currency even when economic and fiscal situation demand expansion in currency supply.
NOTE;PAKISTAN also adopted the PROPORTIONATE RESERVE SYSTEM and remained on it till 1965.
DEMERITS:
INCONVERTIBILITY:
Hailey college of banking and finance
The demerit is that the paper currency under this method is absolutely inconvertible.
NO INTRINSIC VALUE: Major disadvantage is that currency issued under this system has no intrinsic value. This means that worth of paper is far less than the value that it claims due to its status of being a legal tender.
MERITS:
ELASTICITY:
The important merit of this system that it is elastic the STATE BANK can increase or decrease the supply of currency in response to changes in economic activities.
RESPONSIVE:
This system has higher degree of responsiveness than other systems. This means that if economy demands increase in supply of currency than under this system immediate response can be under taken by the central monetary authorities and supply of currency can be increased according to the requirements of the state of economy.
SAFETY:
This system enjoys higher degree of safety. The central monetary authorities keep a close eye on state of affairs of the economy. The notes are issued in response to changes in the market activity demand for currency.
NOTE:
NOW A DAYS IN PAKISTAN LIES THE MINIMUN RESERVE SYSTEM.UNDER THIS SYSTEM THE QUANTUM OF NOTE ISSUE REFLECT THE DENAMD OF ECONOMY FOR CURRENCY, AFTER THE LONG TIME EXIXTENCE OF FIXED FIDUCARY SYSTEM.
Note of 10 Rs
Note of 20 Rs.
Note of 5000 Rs
Main Policy Of
NOTE CHANGING
Policy of changing the paper notes is that after every 10_15 years they have to change the design. Now a days it is doing such because they want to produce them on low cost of production by using light papers and also to look it like the dollars OR pounds..it can be seen by it design.

To achieve these targets, the broad money expansion is targeted at 11.4% for the FY05, slightly less than the nominal growth rate target. Consistent with higher growth and development, the main thrust of monetary and credit policy would be to ensure adequate availability of bank credit to private sector while containing inflation. The constellation of risks has changed in a perceptible manner since the issuance of last Monetary Policy Statement. On the negative side: * International interest rates have begun to edge up and there is a fairly strong expectation that these rates will move upwards in the coming quarters. The differential between Pakistan Rupee interest rates and US Dollar, Euro, Yen and Sterling Pound interest rates should not be allowed to widen. * Strong import demand witnessed in FY04 is unlikely to be depressed in the current fiscal year worsening the trade balance and therefore exerting a downward pressure on the exchange rate. * Domestic private credit demand has peaked in FY04 and therefore the rate of expansion will be moderate but still a large portion of net domestic asset growth will be pre-empted by the private sector. * Hike in asset prices, adjustment in wages and salaries awarded to public servants will also put upward pressure on prices. On the positive side: * Fiscal deficit is likely to remain at 4 percent of GDP and along with the improved financial balances of public sector enterprises the demand from the public sector, barring any unforeseen events, would not pose any serious concern. * Lower capital inflows would moderate the monetary and reserve money growth. * Lower world prices of raw cotton should help the textile and clothing sector in its export drive but much depends on how fast the textile export industry is able to expand its share in the post-MFA textile markets of North America and Europe. * The continued growth of textile sector should take place with lower demand for working capital from banking system thus easing somewhat the pressure on private sector credit. Imports of wheat of one million tones should facilitate the government to stabilize the prices of wheat flour during the lean months effectively but the uncertainty about oil and commodity prices remains worrisome.
The state of labour market shows high degree of unemployment in the country with very low pressure for wage rise outside the public sector. An inappropriate or more aggressive monetary policy will only aggravate the unemployment problem. The balance of risks indicates that domestic prices may continue to increase and exchange rate may be under pressure in the coming six months. The lingering overhang from the last two years' monetary expansion has to be wrung out of the system thus lowering the inflation risk premium built into market expectations.
Therefore, the State Bank will continue to exercise vigilance on the movement of key variables and make a smooth transition from an expansionary monetary policy stance to measured tightening to avert inflationary pressures and maintain stability in exchange rate. This measured response will have to ensure that the current growth and investment momentum in the country is not impaired in any significant manner; export competitiveness is maintained while inflation is kept under control. Raising interest rates rapidly or aggressively when the economic recovery is still incipient, a significant slack exists, and unemployment rates are rising, will entail real economic costs.
The control of credit is responsibility of the central bank. For this purpose Central bank uses various methods. These are classified into two types.
a) Quantitative control.
These include o Bank Rate Policy o Open Market Operations(OMO) o Variations in Reserves Requirement o Credit Rationing
b) Qualitative control.
These include o Change in Margin Requirement o Regulations of consumer s credit o Moral persuasion o Publicity o Direct action
Open Market Operations:SALE AND PURCHASE OF GOVERNMENT SECURITES IN TH OPEN MARKET (STOCK EXCHANGE) BY CENTRAL BANK IS CALED OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS.
FUNCTIONS:
Buying Securities;
State bank can buy securities either from the commercial banks or from public.
Selling securities;
Securities can be sold either to banks or to public. their lending power increase. When it sells securities, it hands over securities to commercial banks.
Commercial banks pay cash to central bank, this reduces the commercial Banks cash reserves and their lending power is reduced. When the securities are purchased by public, then public makes payments by cheques which are drawn on commercial banks. Hence deposits with the commercial bank deCreases, the final effect is same again; the cash balance and hence credit creation powers of banks are reduced.
Limitations or Assumptions;
No doubt OMOs are extremely effective tools of monetary management And control. However, they need a particular climate and conditions to work Effectively. Following are the limitations which effect OMOs
Undeveloped Market
For Open Market Operations to be effective the money and capital markets Must be fully developed. In the absence of broad and developed market the Bank will not be able to sell or buy government securities well in time to Exert desire influences on the economy. A suitable institutional frame work is Required so that a central bank could conduct open market operations.
Availability of securities;
For Open Market Operations to be effective there must be ample and adequateete securities.The central bank purchases securities at high prices in order to stimulate economy and to push it out of depression or slump. The total amount of securities must from some considerable propotion of the total excessive cash reserves.
Economic Climate
The economic climate of the country also determines the effectiveness of Open Market Operations.The trends of economic indicators, the overall past performAnce, future speculations,price and exchange conditions, all such factors effect the willingness of borrowers and bankers and hence decide the fate of open market operations.
Willingness of Borrowers
The investors and borrowers attitude is an important factor that can disturb the central bank plans based on open market operations.If the borrowers are disCourageed and disappointed and they have become pessimist about future then they will not like to borrow or to make investment. In such a case if a central bank tries to expand credit and money supply through open market operations then this will not prove fruitful. Unless the investors confidence is restored, he will not borrow despite excessive cash reserves of commercial banks and low Cost of borrowing.
Willingness of bankers;
The bankers attitude also plays a role in deciding the fate of open market operations.Commercial banks are profit seeking institutions and they have their own Priorities. Sometimes they are not willing to expand credit and advance loans despite excessive cash reserves and purchasing of securities by government. On other hand when central bank wants to contract credit and sells securities, commercial banks driven by their own priorties may continue to advance loans. In Hailey college of banking and finance
Both these cases open market operations will not bring about the desired results.
The borrowings o central bank neutralise the effect of open market operations When central bank purchases securities in order to expand credit and money in the economy and if at the same time, central bank borrows from the commercial banks then this will leave the overall cash reserves balance unaffected and open market operations will go unnoticed.
Open Market Operations with Reference to Pakistan:In Pakistan the money and capital markets are not fully developed. Open Market Operations are not widely used as a chief instrument of monetary Policy. There have been sales and purchases of government securities by the cental bank, but these were basically done to provide timely assistance to bank. However despite all this the SBP has an Open Market Operations, committee This committee works under the deputy governor. The committee is response. For conducting Open Market Operations in accordance with credit control Policies.

Wheat prices likely to rise despite bumper crop: SBP * Central bank forecasts growth close to 7%, inflation above 6.5% target in 2006-07 * Says expansionary fiscal policy compounds risk to economy * Advocates new dams By Sarfaraz Ahmed KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan expects wheat prices to rise in 2006-07 and the average inflation rate to go above the 6.5 percent annual target. The bank also forecast economic growth of close to 7 percent. The inflation rate, perhaps would slip beyond the 6.5 percent target, State Bank Governor Dr Shamshad Akhtar told a press conference on Saturday According to the bank, the rise in inflation emanates from the risk of reversal of the downtrend in house rent index (HRI) inflation in the second half of FY 2006-07 due to high international commodity prices, robust domestic demand for construction inputs, the risk of a rise in food prices following strong domestic demand of key staples such as milk, and an up-trend in international prices of key food items such as edible oil and wheat. In particular, domestic wheat prices may rise despite an anticipated bumper crop if speculators seek to take advantage of the rising oil prices, the central bank said in its report for 2005-06, release on Saturday. The bank said while farmers would benefit from high prices, an excessive rise due to speculative activities could lead to a net welfare loss to the economy. The bank also said it may be necessary for the government to defer wheat exports until the crop size is known and until buffer stocks are in place. The bank said the economy grew by 6.6% in FY 2005-06 and based its optimism for an increase in growth in FY2006-07 on a recovery in agriculture and industry as well as yet another robust performance in the services sector. While advocating the continuation of a tight monetary policy in FY2006-07, the central bank warned of the inherent danger of excessive tightening hurting the momentum of growth. Hailey college of banking and finance
According to the central bank, an expansionary fiscal policy has further compounded the risks to the economy. On the one hand, it adds to inflationary pressures by stimulating demand, and on the other hand, the governments higher funding requirement induces more pressures to raise interest rates to curb incremental pressures on the economy. The probability of this risk materialising depends crucially on the nature of the expenditure growth, the manner in which the government finances its fiscal deficit, the bank said, adding that an increase in government spending could raise inflationary pressures. However, if the greater part of the higher expenditure is for development, the long-term gains through crowding-in investment and increased economic productivity may outweigh the short-term cost of inflationary pressures. The bank expressed concern over the government decision to increase long-term borrowings through National Saving Schemes instruments, saying this would likely raise government reliance on nonbanking borrowings, but also have negative implications for the development long term debt capital markets, and consequently for efforts to attract private capital for long-term investment. The bank said an extraordinary trade deficit was the major reason behind the growth of the current account deficit in recent years, and undertook to adopt a corrective policy of reducing import growth and fostering export growth. The bank also underscored the need for construction of reservoirs in order to overcome the energy deficit. New dams could be a medium to long-term solution, but these could be supplemented by increasing reliance on alternative energy sources, including by expanding nuclear power capacity, negotiating multiple gas import options (including the pipeline from Iran), and developing domestic coal resources (particularly the That deposits). The central bank said Pakistans economy overcame the unexpected weak harvest of key crops, the impact of the October 2005 earthquake, a tight monetary policy and an unprecedented rise in oil prices, to register real GDP growth of 6.6 percent during FY2005-06.
