Change of government position

Until recently, the Government of Pakistan and the Central Bank were strongly opposed to cryptocurrency. However, the Minister of Finance Aurangzeb has now called for a new approach, aligning Pakistan on the international guidelines for best practices and the Financial Action Working Group (FATF). Discussions focused on financial security, attenuation of risks and the role of digital assets in the economy.

The talks have also explored token state companies to stimulate the liquidity and efficiency of capital markets. With more than 20 million Crypto Active users in Pakistan faced with high transaction costs, the government sees the need for a structured framework to regulate and support the sector.

Balance innovation and regulations

With the growing fear of illegal activities, Aurangzeb requested a balanced approach – engaging investment and innovation while maintaining strict monitoring to prevent financial crimes. The meeting ended with a commitment to develop a complete regulatory framework which guarantees security, transparency and economic viability in the space of digital assets of Pakistan.
