اسٹیٹ بینک 10 روپے کا نوٹ ختم کرنے، 5000 کا نوٹ دوبارہ ڈیزائن کرنے پر غور

SBP Deputy Governor Dr. Inayat Hussain informed a Senate committee that the central bank proposed discontinuing the Rs10 note and introducing new currency, a process expected to take about one year. The SBP is also redesigning the Rs5000 note, introduced in 2005, due to increased counterfeiting risks, with a consultant firm currently incorporating changes. Additionally, the committee was briefed on the Pakistan Remittance Initiative, where the government's subsidy of Rs120 billion was curtailed, with banks now bearing associated costs. While these measures aim to improve currency integrity and remittance facilitation, their direct impact on USD/PKR or gold prices in Pakistan is likely to be gradual rather than immediate.
