The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched the Pakistan Financial Inclusion Index (P-FII), a comprehensive tool measuring access to, usage of, and quality of financial services across the country. The 2024 P-FII shows an overall inclusion score of 58.1.
The index is based on 69 indicators covering banking, non-banking, and payment services, including infrastructure, product usage, and service quality. Developed using international best practices, it sets benchmarks for outcomes SBP aims to achieve by 2030.
SBP plans to release the P-FII results annually to support evidence-based policymaking and monitor the effectiveness of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (2024–28), ensuring financial services reach all segments of Pakistan’s population.
