Implementation of Performance Evaluation System for Equity Investment Abroad

The State Bank of Pakistan has introduced the Performance Evaluation System for Investment Abroad (PESIA), a centralized digital repository for reporting data on approved Equity Investment Abroad (EIA) transactions. Authorized Dealers and Designated Authorized Dealers are required to submit transactional and annual performance data through defined Data File Structures (DFS) via the Data Acquisition Portal by the 5th working day of the following month for transactional data and within three months of the investee company's financial year-end for annual reports. Compliance with these reporting standards and data accuracy is mandatory, with failure to adhere subjecting banks to enforcement actions under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act.
