Abstract

This paper interprets Pakistan’s monetary system through the lens of a Post Keynesian endogenous money model and argues that the 2022 amendment to the State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956 has embedded the position of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) as an unusually and necessarily accommodationist central bank. On the one hand, this has practical implications. The inability of the Pakistani government to borrow from the SBP has robbed it of a key money creation mechanism and flooded the banking sector with sovereign risk. On the other hand, the replacement of the private sector by the government as the dominant source of credit demand presents an interesting theoretical case in which public credit demand becomes the source of endogenous money creation.
