Eliminate The requirement that banks should declare that they will ensure the repatriation of export proceeds within a prescribed timeline
Reform IDF533
DescriptionBanks (Authorized Dealers) were required to declare to SBP that they would ensure the repatriation of their clients' export proceeds within the prescribed timeline. Since repatriation is ultimately the exporter's obligation and banks have no operational control over whether proceeds actually return to Pakistan, this requirement placed an unenforceable and unrealistic responsibility on ADs, while creating compliance risk and administrative burden without adding genuine safeguards.
