State Bank Celebrates Financial Literacy Week to promote financial inclusion and awareness across Pakistan. The Central Bank successfully observed Financial Literacy Week from April 14th to 18th, 2025. The weeklong celebrations culminate in a powerful display of commitment through nationwide Financial Literacy Walks. Thus, it was a demonstration of a unified front in promoting financial inclusion and awareness. Resultantly, all 16 field offices of the SBP Banking Services Corporation (BSC) organized these impactful walks across the country.

In Rawalpindi, the SBP BSC office spearheaded a vibrant Financial Literacy Walk at the Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University (PMAS-AAUR). The walk was enthusiastically led by the Chief Manager, Mr. Ansar Iftikhar Butt. There was remarkable participation from a diverse cross-section of society. It includes students, esteemed faculty members and representatives from various commercial banks. Interestingly, the eager children from the Arid University’s literacy institute, members of the media, dedicated NGOs, and inspiring women entrepreneurs all joined hands in this unique initiative.

The event went beyond a simple walk. It transformed into an interactive platform for financial empowerment. Moreover, all banks operating in the region actively participated by setting up informative kiosks at the walk venue. These kiosks proved to be a valuable resource. They provided on-the-spot account opening facilities for students and other attendees. Thus, it was impactful in making financial access more tangible and immediate.
