January 27, 2026 (MLN): The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has reduced the average Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) for all banks to 5%, with a daily minimum of 3%, to support credit expansion to the private sector.

In a circular issued, SBP said the revised CRR will take effect from January 30, 2026 and will apply to all banks, including Islamic banks and Islamic banking branches.

The central bank cited an improved macroeconomic environment and said all other instructions will remain unchanged.
