RECORDER REPORT

KARACHI: Pakistan’s total liquid foreign reserves reached $15.93 billion as of March 7, 2025, reflecting a $55 million increase compared to the previous week.

The rise in reserves comes despite external debt repayments, due to surge in the commercial banks’ reserves.

According to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), foreign reserves held by the SBP stood at $11.10 billion, after a decline of $152 million due to external debt payments. Net foreign reserves held by commercial banks increased by $206.7 million, reaching $4.83 billion.
