Digital Payments & Raast QR Code Initiative
In addition to exchange rate stability, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched several initiatives to strengthen the country’s digital economy.
Recently, SBP announced a Rs. 3.5 billion support package for banks and financial institutions to promote merchant onboarding and Raast P2M (Person-to-Merchant) digital QR code transactions.

“The government has allocated a subsidy of Rs. 3.5 billion for QR code-based Raast transactions from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.”
