June 05, 2025 (MLN): The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has made a comprehensive review of the Prudential Regulations (PRs) for SME financing to promote sustainable, responsible, and inclusive SME finance.

In addition to the introduction of some new regulations, several existing PRs have also been revised to make the PRs principles-based and remove structural barriers in SME finance.

The revisions also encourage banks to leverage technology and foster partnerships with Fintechs and other non-financial service providers to better serve the financing needs of SMEs.

The draft PRs have been uploaded on the SBP official website for public consultation, according to the press release issued today.

The consultation period will be open for two weeks from June 05–20, 2025.

The feedback so received will help to further align the prudential regulations for SME finance with the SMEs’ market dynamics.

The SBP encourages all the stakeholders including the banks, business analysts, trade bodies, and public at large to share their valuable feedback on the draft PRs.
