SBP rejects rumours about discontinuation of Rs5000 banknote

ISLAMABAD: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday categorically rejected rumours of discontinuation of Rs5000 banknote and requested the general public to pay no heed to such disinformation.

In case of demonetization/discontinuation of any banknote, the SBP will announce the same well in advance and provide ample time to public to change the currency under demonetization/discontinuation process.

Since all information is updated on the SBP's website and its social media platforms, the general public may also check announcements there before forwarding the same to their contacts.
