October 08, 2026 (MLN): The Pakistan Financial Inclusion Index (P-FII) rose to 59.5 in 2025 from 58.1 in 2024, according to results released by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Pakistan's financial inclusion improvement, as captured by the SBP's comprehensive index, was driven mainly by a sharp rise in the Usage sub-index, while the Access and Quality sub-indices also posted gains.

The progress reflects effective rollout of digital initiatives under the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2024–28.

Key contributors included merchant onboarding on Raast and the wider payments ecosystem, the arrival of digital banks, and account-opening campaigns.

Strong consumer orientation and financial literacy efforts further supported these gains.
