SBP

SBP is an acronym that can refer to several entities and concepts across different fields. The meaning is usually clarified by context.

State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is the central bank of Pakistan. It formulates and implements monetary policy, regulates and supervises the banking system, issues currency, manages the country’s foreign exchange reserves, and acts as the banker and fiscal agent for the government. The SBP is responsible for maintaining financial stability and for supervising the payments system within Pakistan.

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is a medical term describing the peak arterial pressure during the contraction of the heart. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is typically reported alongside diastolic blood pressure (DBP), the pressure when the heart rests between beats. In adults, normal SBP generally falls within the range of about 90 to 120 mmHg, while higher values can indicate hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk. SBP is a key component of routine blood pressure assessment and cardiovascular risk stratification.

Other uses of SBP exist in various domains, including organizational programs or project names within institutions, as well as technical abbreviations in fields such as computing or science. Because SBP has multiple potential meanings, the intended sense is usually determined by the surrounding context.
