The State Bank of Pakistan has made it possible for startups to obtain loans in the form of “Convertible Debt” in order to help them raise funds from abroad. Convertible debt is a type of loan that can be convertible into equity shares of the borrowing business if certain requirements are met.

Prior to the most recent instructions, entities could borrow foreign currency loans within the parameters set out in Chapter 19 of the Foreign Exchange Manual, but there was no special category that permitted the loan to be converted into the borrowing company’s ownership.

This strategy is expected to assist Pakistan attract more foreign investment by giving international investors another choice to participate in startup enterprises operating in Pakistan.

Foreign investors that are apprehensive to invest in a start-up company’s equity at this time may procrastinate.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
