KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched its redesigned official website to provide a faster, easier and user-friendly digital experience for citizens, businesses, financial institutions, researchers, journalists and other stakeholders, the central bank said on Tuesday.
“Designed as a modern, secure and inclusive digital platform, the new website will provide easier access to information related to the SBP,” the bank said in the statement.“Its launch marks an important milestone in SBP’s digital transformation agenda and reflects continued commitment to transparency, innovation, and meaningful stakeholder engagement,” it added.
The website will be accessible to all stakeholders at www[dot]sbp [dot]org [dot]pk.The website 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 will be fully responsive across desktops, smartphones and other devices.
To promote greater inclusivity and wider public outreach, the website offers a bilingual interface in 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 that improve usability for persons with disabilities. Behind the improved user experience is a reorganised information architecture that presents key areas such as monetary policy, financial markets data, banking regulations, and other SBP functions more logically and intuitively, while preserving access to legacy content.
To facilitate stakeholders who wish to reference the earlier interface, the previous version of the website will remain available through a dedicated link on the homepage until July 15, the SBP added.
