Launch of Web Portal (InvestPak) for Investment in Government Securities
The State Bank of Pakistan launches the InvestPak web portal to enable individuals and corporates with PKR accounts to digitally open Investor Portfolio of Securities accounts, place bids in primary auctions, and trade government securities in the secondary market. All banks and primary dealers are mandated to facilitate customer registration, processing onboarding requests within two working days, and providing binding quotes for secondary market trades during business hours. Microfinance banks are encouraged to support customer registration, while primary dealers must continuously update indicative yields for on-the-run issues on the portal. The portal becomes accessible to customers on November 6, 2025, with existing settlement mechanisms and complaint resolution requirements remaining in effect.
