KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday launched Easy Data Portal which is accessible to all without any restrictions or limitations.

The central bank said the portal will help to bring transparency, accountability, collaboration and independence required to run the economy more efficiently.

A webinar was held to discuss the importance of data for economic decision-making. The SBP said it took almost 2.5 years to make the portal functional which contains monetary, debt and all other related economic and financial data including the latest data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.

Also, rich data sets are available for every common person to download.
