SBP Reserves Rise by $20 Million

Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves rose slightly to $19.81 billion for the week ending October 3, 2025, up by $14 million on a weekly basis, according to data released by Topline Securities citing the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). Reserves held by the SBP increased by $20 million, reaching $14.42 billion, compared to $14.40 billion a week earlier. Commercial banks’ reserves, however, saw a marginal decline of $6 million, standing at $5.39 billion. Despite a $500 million Eurobond repayment made at the end of September, Pakistan managed to maintain its reserve position, reflecting continued stability in the external account.
