This is with reference to the news item published in Business Recorder regarding the website of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). While we can not object to any user's comment that our website is not user friendly, as it is a matter of personal experience; however, the example quoted on Pakistan development fund is quite irrelevant and misleading. The information on PDF never appeared on our economic data webpage as an exclusive item and must have been referred in different documents such as our periodical reports. The news item gives the impression that something has been removed from our website deliberately, which is not correct.
Further, we also provide historical data of selected variables on our website in the form of 'archive' files, which is used by many journalists and we have never heard any complaint about it. We understand that there is always room for improvement and we continue doing that. Again the comment in this regard is uncalled for.
