I have never heard anyone being asked direct questions from ESP. In SBOTS, they might ask them directly because the position is different. However, you will surely have to prepare from it as you might encounter some indirect questions. Plus, it is always good to gain this type of knowledge as it will benefit you anyhow (in future exams, interviews etc.).

I am working on questions relating to economics. WIll post them as soon as I finish.

The questions are very helpful. I would love to talk about my grades and transcript I have got a pdf document by Farroq Arbi about the functions of SBP but it is very detailed. The prudential regulations sail over my head.

I'd be very thankful if someone can please refer an economist working in SBP. I have no doubt about the significance of the topics you and Sir Raz have shared but that would really help us all if someone can give us more feedback on Economics and Analysis based questions.

Add me in fb group... Request sent m qualified with 74 marks

Reference previous posts, sorry, I am not the admin of any SBP OG-1 related group. The admins will approve you requests.

Dear Road block, Are there chances that pays for OG-1s too would be increased? For OG-2s who are going for training this time, stipend has been increased from Rs 12,000 to Rs. 20,000 and their take home pay has also increased from 40,000 to 50,000 PKR.

Uptil now, the highest marks I have heard are 81 from Bahwalpur, then 78 from lahore and then I am with 77 marks. (graduation 95 percent marks, cgpa 3.79, sbp internee (grade A in project) ) What can be a probable chance for my selection if I manage a good interview?

The pay of YPIP 4th batch was not mentioned in the advertisement. Now, it has been increased to Rs. 51,000/- (27.5% increase from the previous batch). I am not sure about the increase in the salary of OG1 position as the ad clearly states that 30k will be given to inductees. Also not sure about the inflationary adjustment for OG1. Some credible source from HR BSC can only confirm your query. But don't worry about this pay package issue. Just try to get selected and salary will surely be suitable in medium to long run.

77 marks are not easy to be attained in OG1 exam as the GK portion is relatively difficult. Moreover, with your background, one should be confident enough for selection. Let me not raise your hopes but I presume you are in a very suitable position to get hired this time around. Prepare well for interview and revise the contents of your university level courses as with such a background, you cannot afford to leave even a single question unanswered.

Dear Roadblock,
May Allah bless you and make your career path even more lucrative. Thanks for boosting my morale and please pray for my selection.

I was able to score 20 marks in GK portion, pretty sure that they were the highest in the candidates who cleared the test as none of the successful has mentioned more marks than mine, Alhumdulillah. I remember my discussions with people at the Issue and Treasury Divisions, at least I was always able to satisfy their queries. Regarding the tip by Sir Gandalfand Sir Raz here about key stats , they had been part of my initial discussions, most of which I remember thank fully.

I am pretty sure that they would ask me questions about my report and its findings, along with the security features of notes they had explained in detail. Regarding DFD and trade, they had dozens of forms with dozens of rates and instructions, and since they were pretty busy due to Ramzan and end of the fiscal year, they could not come up with comprehensive details. However, I predicted export led growth to be a reason and a fruit behind the dropping of the discount rate, which was mentioned in the policy and later by newspapers, when export re finance rate dropped from 7.5 to 6 pc.

Can anyone provide guidance how to prepare export refinance , DFD and trade related material from other than SBP's website?

Export refinance scheme was introduced with an aim to boost exports of non-traditional items in Pakistan. The scheme is bifurcated in two parts i.e. Part I & Part II. Under Part-I, the finance is given on pre as well as post shipment basis for export of eligible commodities. This facility is provided on a case-to-case basis. Under Part-II, an exporter may avail the export finance limit, based on his last year’s export performance in respect of eligible commodities e.g textiles, carpets, telecommunication, frozen seafood etc.

Does that imply that Export refinance II is not for the new exporters? They can opt for part I only? And you can obtain post shipment finance only in the case of part II scheme?

Is the export refinance rate(currently 6 pc ; Source Dawn Newspaper) applicable on both the schemes or do they have different different export refinance rates?
