About
All of Pakistan's economy, in one API.
PakDataHub is the single source for Pakistan's official financial and economic data. The numbers exist — but they're scattered across a dozen government sites, buried in PDFs and spreadsheets, and inconsistent from one release to the next. We collect all of it, clean and cross-check it against known published figures, normalize the units, dates and identifiers, and serve it from our own database through one fast REST API.
The result is what the market never had: a complete, clean, developer-first view of the whole economy — 16,964 official series from 1947 to this week, plus mutual funds, debt securities and alternate data — with public pricing and a free tier to start. Sign up and make your first call in minutes. No sales calls, no "contact us."

Where it comes from
Every number traces to an official public release — the State Bank of Pakistan (including its open-data portal), the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, and the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan — dated, sourced and cross-validated, so your analysis is reproducible and citable.
Always current
Scheduled ingestion jobs fetch each source on its own cadence — daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly — parse and validate it, and upsert it into our database. A public status page shows the last-updated time for every module, and nightly backups are restore-tested automatically.
Who it's for
Fintech, lending, remittance and wallet teams pricing risk in real time; researchers, economists and journalists tracing macro history; hedge funds and macro desks hunting signals; BI teams and universities pulling reproducible datasets; and students on the free tier.
