The initiative, if accepted, would enable the SBP to launch a digital currency, which could eventually lead to Pakistan's central bank issuing a digital currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Tribune, the SBP suggested changes to the State Bank of Pakistan Act, indicating a change in the nation's stance on digital currencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the SBP's earlier cautions against virtual currencies\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, the plan would allow digital currencies like Bitcoin to be utilized as legal money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated by the Tribune, a currency's legal tender status in Pakistan indicates that it can be used to pay for debts, products, and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mechanism for punishing unlicensed digital currency issuers<\/a> is also described in the proposal. The plan will allow the SBP to supervise digital and physical currency by incorporating digital currency management into its duties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the framework would reverse a provision that formerly limited dual nationals' ability to hold senior posts inside the central bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change aligns with the government's overarching economic goals, which include attempts to modernize Pakistan's banking sector as the globe progressively shifts to digital finance and GDP growth<\/a> estimates of 2.5\u20133.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
