August 04, 2026 (MLN): The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has increased the aggregate exposure limit for unrated large private sector borrowers from all banks and development finance institutions (DFIs) to Rs10 billion from the existing Rs3bn, effective September 30, 2026.

The central bank said the decision was taken in view of changes in the macroeconomic environment and feedback received from the banking industry.

According to the circular, the revised limit supersedes the existing threshold prescribed under earlier regulatory instructions, including BSD Circular No. 8 dated June 27, 2006, BPRD Circular Letter No. 2 dated January 9, 2015, and BPRD Circular No. 3 dated September 24, 2025.

SBP further said the revised exposure limit will also be incorporated into the Revised Instructions for Credit Risk (Standardized Approach) under the Basel III framework, issued through BPRD Circular No. 3 of September 24, 2025, which is currently being implemented by banks and DFIs in a parallel run.

The central bank clarified that all other instructions on the subject will remain unchanged.
