The foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) rose by $28 million on a weekly basis, reaching $14.30 billion as of August 29, 2025, according to official data released on Thursday.

The total liquid foreign reserves — which include holdings of both the SBP and commercial banks — amounted to $19.66 billion, while net reserves with commercial banks stood at $5.36 billion.

“During the week ended on 29-Aug-2025, SBP reserves increased by US$28 million to US$14,302.5 million,” the central bank reported.

This gradual improvement highlights efforts to strengthen the country’s financial stability amidst ongoing economic challenges.
