SBP Reserves Rise By $14 Million

Pakistan’s liquid foreign exchange reserves remained largely stable this week, with the State Bank of Pakistan reporting an increase of $14 million, taking its holdings to $14.57 billion for the week ending November 28, 2025. According to the SBP’s weekly data, the country’s total foreign exchange reserves stood at $19.589 billion. Reserves showed a marginal week-on-week decline of $16 million, mainly due to lower balances held by commercial banks. Banks’ reserves fell by US$31 million, closing the week at US$5.014 billion. The data also shows that Pakistan’s import cover remained unchanged at 2.76 months, indicating stable short-term external payment capacity. Year to date, the central bank’s reserves have increased by $2.864 billion, helped by improved inflows and disciplined external payments. s
