Karachi is the capital of the Pakistani province of Sindh and Pakistan's largest city, with a population of roughly 17-20 million in the wider metropolitan area, making it one of the most populous cities in the world. Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5) is fixed year-round with no daylight saving since 2009. Karachi handles the bulk of Pakistan's seaborne trade through the Port of Karachi and the adjacent Port Qasim, and the city hosts the headquarters of the State Bank of Pakistan and the Pakistan Stock Exchange. It was the country's capital from independence in 1947 until the seat of government was moved to Islamabad in 1959, and the city remains the commercial and industrial centre of Pakistan, contributing a disproportionate share of national tax revenue.
