The governor said the platform marks the fulfilment of a long-term vision to create a modern and accessible investment ecosystem. He added that the nationwide awareness campaign aims to encourage more Pakistanis to consider sovereign investments through coordinated outreach across print, social media and FM radio.

Jameel Ahmad reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to improving market efficiency through automation, transparency and international best practices. He urged financial institutions and investors to support InvestPak as a national initiative that can contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous economy.

According to SBP, the platform will benefit individual investors, women investors, small savers, corporate entities and other market participants by reducing paperwork, improving transparency and providing convenient digital access to government securities. Users will also be able to manage multiple Pakistani rupee (PKR) and Investor Portfolio Securities (IPS) accounts through a single interface across participating financial institutions.

To support users, SBP has established a dedicated InvestPak call centre alongside integrated online support services available through the web portal and mobile applications.
