Your answer seems to be that "yes, banks and other businesses globally are forced to become extensions of the US government without receiving funding to do so" (quoting miscreanity) and "Pakistani banks themselves [have] reporting requirements to the US" (quoting throwaway676980) ... so long as they have an account in the US (my link). I believe that includes Swift accounts?

I don't think they are really asking about the ease by which a bank should be able to generate that report, but rather the necessity to do so.
