Kayani Calls for Stronger SME Financing to Boost Pakistan's Exports

Minister of State for Finance, Bilal Azhar Kayani, chaired a meeting to address the under-utilisation of SME financing facilities and enhance exporters' access to funding, technology, and international markets. The government aims to empower SMEs, boost global competitiveness, and unlock their potential as key drivers of national export growth. Efforts include strengthening coordination between SBP, EXIM Bank, and other institutions to improve outreach and awareness of schemes like the Export Finance Scheme (EFS). While this initiative supports long-term economic stability, its immediate impact on USD/PKR or gold prices is likely to be gradual rather than a sharp market mover.
