    Pakistan rebuts reports of stopping payments to Google

    KARACHI: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Saturday strongly rebutted the reports that it has stopped the payments to Google.

    Certain media has reported that Google PlayStore would not be available from December 01, 2022 due to the central bank had stopped payment to Google apps.

    The SBP in a statement said recent news circulating in some sections of the media that certain payments to Google are stuck at SBP, are baseless and misleading. “SBP strongly refutes all such assertions.”

    The fact is that in order to facilitate the domestic entities, SBP specified certain Information Technology (IT) related services, which such entities can acquire from abroad for their own use and make foreign exchange payments there against up to $ 100,000 per invoice. Such services include, Satellite Transponder, International Bandwidth/ Internet/ Private Line Services, Software License/Maintenance/Support, and service to use electronic media and databases.

    Entities desirous of utilizing this option designate a bank, which is approved by SBP one time. Subsequently, after designation, such payments can be processed through the designated bank, without any further regulatory approval.

    However, during recent off-site reviews, it was observed that in addition to utilizing the aforesaid mechanism to remit funds for IT related services for their own use, Telcos were remitting bulk of the funds for video gaming, entertainment content, etc. purchased by their customers using airtime, under Direct Carrier Billing (DCB).

    DCB is, in general, an online mobile payment method, which allows users to make purchases by charging payments to their mobile phone carrier bill. The Telcos were allowing their customers to purchase above mentioned products through airtime and then remitting funds abroad reflecting such transactions as payments for acquisition of IT related services. Thus, in effect the Telcos were acting as intermediaries/ payment aggregators by facilitating acquisition of services by their subscribers.

    Therefore, in view of the violation of foreign exchange regulations, SBP revoked the designation of banks of Telcos for such payments. However, to facilitate their legitimate IT related payments, Telcos have been advised through their banks to resubmit their requests.

    If any entity, including a telco, intends to operate as an intermediary/payment aggregator and such arrangement involves outflow of foreign exchange, it has to approach SBP, separately through its bank, for seeking special permission for providing such services under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947.

    Pakistan repays $1.8 billion in November 2022: SBP

    According to Insight Securities (Pvt) Limited, commenting on foreign loan payment, SBP governor highlighted that during the month of November 2022, the central bank had repaid loan of $1.8 billion. While another amount of $1.08 billion will be paid on December 02, 2022.

    In an unexpected move, the SBP on November 25, 2022 increased policy rate by 100 basis points to clock in at 16 per cent.

    SBP highlighted that the inflationary pressures have become more persistent, as evident from rising core inflation. Therefore, to control the impact of persistent and sticky rise in price levels, SBP’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to hike benchmark rate by 100bps.

    After the assessment of floods, SBP expects GDP growth of 2 per cent in the fiscal year 2022-2023, while current account deficit is projected to clock in at 3 per cent of GDP.

    READ MORE: SBP keeps policy rate unchanged at 15% amid economic deceleration

    Due to strong rise in core inflation coupled with higher food prices, SBP has also revised its inflation projections of average inflation from 18-20 per cent to 21-23 per cent.

    In real sector, major demand indicators have started to show moderation in first four months (July – October) 2022-2023, where sales of cement, petroleum products and automobiles have witnessed a slowdown. Similarly, electricity generation has witnessed a decline for the fifth consecutive month.

    Furthermore, damages to crops amid recent floods will result in lower agri output, which is evident from decline in rice and cotton output. In addition, private sector credit has also shown moderation in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

    READ MORE: SBP keeps benchmark rate unchanged at 15% amid rising inflation

    On external front, current account deficit has witnessed significant moderation in first four months of the fiscal year to clock in at $2.7 billion as compared to $5.3 billion in same period last year. The improvement is mainly attributable to reduction in imports, however, slowdown in export and remittances has nullified some of the benefits arising from lower imports.

    The recent turmoil in domestic economy coupled with uncertain political environment has resulted in lower inflows from multilateral institutions and friendly countries, which was further dented by tight monetary stance adopted by major central banks of the world.

    Inflation for the month of October 2022 clocked in at 26.56 per cent, primarily driven by adjustment in electricity tariff and higher food prices. Core inflation which tends to be stickier, has shown reasonable increase in few months due to 2nd round impact of higher energy prices. Therefore, SBP has revised its inflation forecast for the current fiscal year to 21-23 per cent, while its medium term inflation target still stands at 5-7 per cent for next fiscal year.

    The MPC will continue to monitor inflation trajectory and will take necessary decisions.
