Develop a Liberalization Roadmap
Reform IDF536
DescriptionBefore: Pakistan lacked a structured, time-bound roadmap for FX liberalization. The current Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) 1947 and its accumulated regulations were designed for crisis-era capital controls, not for facilitating trade and investment. Without a published liberalization plan, businesses and investors had no visibility into the direction of FX policy, discouraging long-term investment and perpetuating uncertainty about the accessibility of foreign exchange.
