KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Thursday announced increase in the markup rate for financing under Export Finance Scheme (EFS) by 2.5 percent.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the SBP in its emergency meeting has decided to raise the policy rate by 250 basis points to 12.25 percent due to multiple risks to the economy.

Accordingly, the SBP has decided to increase the markup rate for financing under EFS by 2.5 percent in line with the increase in policy rate announced in the MPC meeting.
