Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves showed a mild improvement as the State Bank of Pakistan reported a $27 million increase during the week ending November 14, 2025. The central bank’s total reserves now stand at $14.552 billion. This rise reflects steady inflows that are helping stabilize the country’s external position. Although modest, the increase signals better liquidity management. It also adds some breathing space to Pakistan’s overall financial outlook.
According to the SBP’s weekly report, the country’s total liquid reserves reached $19.738 billion. This marks a $14 million improvement from the previous week. The central bank reserves were the main contributor to this rise. However, reserves held by commercial banks dropped by $13 million. Despite this decline, the combined reserves still show a net positive trend for the week.
Officials note that consistent inflows, disciplined external payments, and stabilizing currency conditions are supporting reserve growth. The increase, though small, is important in building confidence in Pakistan’s economic direction. Strengthening reserves helps the country manage import payments and debt obligations more comfortably. The latest figures indicate that Pakistan’s financial system is gradually moving toward greater stability.
