SBP allows exchange firms to import US dollars on a need basis

Additionally, the exchange companies must submit original customs and/or other export documents from the foreign govt.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has given permission to exchange companies to import physical US Dollars as and when required. 

They can do this by using the value of their export consignments of permissible foreign currencies within five working days. Reputed cargo and security companies will be involved in facilitating this process.

This arrangement will remain in effect until December 31, 2023, with the condition that the total cash US Dollars imported by an exchange company during this period does not exceed 50 percent of the value of its export consignments. The exchange companies must include this arrangement in their dealings with overseas entities, and the details of the cash US Dollars to be imported will be mentioned in the system-generated deal ticket.

Before importing US Dollars through cargo or security companies, the exchange companies need to inform the Director of Foreign Exchange Operations Department (FEOD) at SBP Banking Services Corporation (SBP-BSC) in Karachi and also provide a copy to the SBP-BSC staff at SBP-Customs Joint Booth at designated airports. They must present an original deal ticket from a foreign bank or exchange company showing the amount of cash US Dollars to be imported, which will be verified and stamped by SBP-BSC officials.

Additionally, the exchange companies must submit original customs and/or other export documents from the foreign government, which will also be stamped by SBP-BSC officials. Copies of these documents must be kept for on-site inspection by the State Bank’s inspection team.

The import consignment will be verified according to the laid-down procedure for exporting foreign currencies. Once verified, it will be packed, sealed, and handed over to the cargo/security company for delivery to the exchange company.

Exchange companies must ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, including those of the jurisdiction from where the US Dollars are being imported. They are also required to properly record all transactions related to the import of cash in their books of accounts.

It’s worth noting that exchange companies were already allowed to export permissible foreign currencies (excluding US Dollars) through cargo/security companies and repatriate an equivalent amount of US Dollars to their foreign currency accounts maintained with banks in Pakistan within five working days from the date of the foreign currency export.

  1. When I heard the word “Hacker” I used to think they were evil and manipulative, they just wanted to have access to your personal life and data, not until I met this “Asset Recovery Hacker” I got to know not all hackers are evil and not all heroes are drawn, shown on tv or wear capes. I lost my crypto assets to some shady crypto-asset broker on the internet who promised to earn me millions of dollars within a month or two if only I could invest with his platform. I wanted money, and there was never a way to make money without risk. I sent him a total of $553,000.00 worth of my crypto tokens. It’s been 5 months and no word from him. All I wanted was to make him pay for ripping my money and I hired ( CYBERGENIE(@)CYBERSERVICES(.)COM ) for that ethical hacking task of recovering my lost crypto asset. They were graciously helpful, and this asset recovery hacker’s process in recovering my lost tokens was swift, smooth, and interesting. After my experience with this hacker, my perspective on hackers changed.

  2. Many of us tend to rely on our instincts more than we trust the advice of others, and while that can be acceptable, it doesn’t apply to every situation. I had a personal experience where I was introduced to a bitcoin mining platform by an Instagram broker. Unfortunately, it turned out that the broker was an imposter using someone else’s pictures to deceive people and take advantage of them financially. Despite my friends’ warnings at the golf club about the risks involved, I ignored their advice and invested with the platform. Initially, the withdrawal process went smoothly, but when I upgraded my account to the platinum plan, things took a turn. I invested a substantial amount of £317k and expected a payout within two weeks, as was the usual withdrawal span. However, I discovered that my account had been restricted, and I was asked to pay a fee to regain access. Frustrated, I shared my situation with my friends, and one of them, Mike, recommended a hacker who had previously helped him track his wife’s phone during a cheating incident. Without hesitation, I contacted the hacker and, in a short period of time, they gained access to my account, withdrew my funds, and closed the account. It taught me the importance of working with the best team to achieve the best results. I can confidently say that VIRTUALHACKNET is the right team for handling such cases.
