Pakistan’s Foreign Reserves Increase by Over $5 Billion in FY25

The foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) stood at $14.51 billion as of June 30, 2025, according to data issued by the central bank. In a short update, SBP said that its reserves stood at $9.39 billion as of June 30, 2024. This means that SBP reserves have risen by $5.12 billion during the FY25 to reach $14.51 billion. The central bank said that the increase in reserves reflects a noticeable improvement in the country’s current account balance and realization of planned inflows during the year. SBP usually issued the reserves position on every Thursday so a breakdown will likely be issued tomorrow. However, it is pertinent to mention here that China rolled over $3.4 billion in loans to Pakistan earlier this week. The central bank likely also received inflows from other sources as last week its reserves stood at $9.06 billion (as of June 20, 2025).
