August 12, 2025: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced a revision to its “Framework for Managing Risks of Trade Based Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing,” originally introduced in 2019.

In a circular issued to Authorized Dealers (ADs), the central bank emphasized the need to strengthen the framework in line with evolving business requirements and emerging risks. ADs have been instructed to update their internal policies, processes, and systems to comply with the new guidelines by October 31, 2025.

The SBP has warned that non-compliance may result in enforcement action under applicable laws.
