The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) announced today that its foreign exchange reserves have experienced a further increase, rising by a modest $18 million to reach $14.27 billion during the week ending August 22, 2025. This marks the second consecutive week of growth for the central bank’s reserves, signaling a continuation of the positive trend for Pakistan’s external accounts.
The SBP’s statement highlights this gain, which brings the country’s total liquid foreign reserves to $19.62 billion when combined with the $5.34 billion held by commercial banks. This combined figure provides a crucial buffer for the national economy, supporting import payments and helping to maintain stability in the currency market.
While the central bank did not provide a specific reason for the latest increase, the consistent accumulation of reserves is a positive indicator of the country’s improving financial health and reflects effective economic management. A robust foreign exchange position is vital for bolstering investor confidence and ensuring long-term financial stability.
The government and the SBP remain committed to pursuing policies that will further strengthen the country’s economic resilience and continue to build upon this positive momentum.
