Measuring the Money Supply by State Bank of Pakistan
Corporate Secretary:
being responsible for the efficient administration of a company, implementing decisions made by the Board of Directors.
Disburses : to pay out money from a fund for a specific purpose.
Lender of Last Resort
The state bake of Pakistan also acts as the lender of the last resort for the commercial banks. When commercial banks are in crisis and have shortage of cash, then state bank comes to their help. State bank may help the commercial banks by rediscounting their bills of exchange and by advancing loans against securities.
surveillance: close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal.
Off-site surveillance is conducted through regular checking of various returns regularly received from the different banks. On other hand, on-site inspection is undertaken by the State Bank in the premises of the concerned banks when required.
To broaden financial markets as also to diversify the sources of credit, a number of non-bank financial institutions were allowed to increase substantially. The State Bank has also been charged with the responsibilities of regulating and supervising of such institutions.
Substantially: to a great or significant extent.
Broaden: become larger in distance from side to side.
A non-bank financial institution (NBFI) is a financial institution that does not have a full banking license or is not supervised by a national or international banking regulatory agency
Changing the monetary base: This directly changes the total amount of money circulating in the economy. The State Bank can use open market operations to change the monetary base. The Bank would buy/sell bonds in exchange for hard currency. When the central bank sells government bonds it receives hard currency in payment, thus reducing the money supply. It buys government bonds and pays hard cash to the sellers, thus, increasing the money supply.
b. Changing the reserve requirements: Monetary policy can be implemented by changing the proportion of total assets that banks must hold in reserve with SBP. Banks only maintain a small portion of their assets as cash available for immediate withdrawal; the rest is invested in illiquid assets like mortgages and loans. By changing the proportion of total assets to be held as liquid cash, the SBP changes the availability of loanable funds. This acts as a change in the money supply.
c. Changing the discount rate: Banks borrow money from the State Bank by cashing or discounting credit instruments, such as bills of exchange. By raising the discount rate SBP discourages banks to borrow money. If and when the goal is to increase the money supply, the Bank lowers its discount rate to encourage borrowing by the banks and, thus, helps increasing the money supply.
Also by calling in existing loans or extending new loans, the monetary authority can directly change the size of the money supply.
Debts Management
Our scarce resources and government polices are not able to run the mega projects which needed heavy amount of resources. Due to shortage of resources government has to depend upon other rich nations. All these arrangement are the responsibility of the state bank on the behalf of government.

Pakistan faces a fiscal imbalance because of two primary reasons: 1. The government’s diminished capacity to generate revenues in public sector and 2. Inability of state to reduce expenditures.
