The State Bank of Pakistan has decided to introduce new  banknotes of all denomination with new design and features, a move that will prove a setback for those stashing black money in the country. 

Jamil Ahmed, Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, revealed it today, saying competitions will be organized in February for their design. 

He said that the new banknotes will carry international standard features to curb flow of fake currency notes in the country. He said all matters related to launch of the new currency will be finalized by March 2024. 

He also said that the notes will not be replaced at once, like India did, where such decision caused chaos.
