The Bank of Khyber has injected Rs. 1 billion into its wholly owned subsidiary, BOK Currency Exchange Company (Pvt) Limited, following shareholder approval at the bank’s 35th Annual General Meeting.

The capital increase is aimed at strengthening the financial foundation of the exchange company and ensuring full compliance with Pakistan’s updated Regulatory Framework for Exchange Companies. While the bank’s board had earlier approved the move, shareholders formally ratified the decision as special business during the AGM held on March 30, 2026.

According to the certified resolution, the fresh funding aligns with regulatory requirements and is intended to reinforce the operational stability and capital adequacy of the bank’s foreign exchange operations.

The development comes amid tighter regulatory oversight of exchange companies, prompting financial institutions to reinforce subsidiary structures and enhance governance standards across the sector.

With the additional capital, the exchange company is expected to improve liquidity management, expand service capacity, and operate more efficiently within Pakistan’s regulated currency market.

The resolution was disclosed to the Pakistan Stock Exchange in line with mandatory market disclosure requirements to keep investors informed.
