EasyData is an online data repository offered by the State Bank of Pakistan. It gives access to a wide range of historical and current data compiled by the State Bank of Pakistan,
selected datasets compiled by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, and other official sources and associations. It is maintained by the SBP’s Data Services and Innovations Department.

Over time, our goal is to add more datasets so that users can find data on Pakistan’s economy at one place. New additions are continuously displayed on the homepage of EasyData.

While EasyData also provides you with simple chart controls, it is chiefly a data provision service rather than an analytical service. Indeed, users are encouraged to download the
data in ubiquitous comma-separated value (csv) format to analytical software of their choice (e.g. Excel, Stata, Matlab and so forth) to carry out advanced analysis according to their needs.
