The Export-Import Bank of Pakistan, also known as the EXIM Bank of Pakistan (EBP), is the official export credit agency (ECA) of Pakistan. Headquartered in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, the bank was established as a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in October 2022 to stimulate the growth and diversification of the country's exports and assist in the implementation of import substitution plans.
The EBP was initially incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) as a public limited entity by the Pakistani government on 11 June 2015, and it was declared a Development Finance Institution (DFI) in December. However, the bank began formal operations years later, on October 2022, following its official establishment under the Export-Import Bank of Pakistan Act, 2022, which was ratified by the Senate on 30 September 2022 and signed into law by former President Arif Alvi on 14 October 2022. The bank was formally launched and inaugurated on 22 December 2023 by caretaker finance minister Shamshad Akhtar.
On 21 March 2025, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) approved phasing out the State Bank of Pakistan's long-term financing to the EBP.
