Karachi: The State Bank of Pakistan, while releasing the latest data, has reported a slight improvement in the country’s foreign exchange reserves, after which they have reached $19.496 billion.
According to the state bank, the total foreign exchange reserves increased by $1.1 million in the week ending August 8, 2025. During this period, the State Bank’s own reserves increased by $11.3 million to $14.243 billion, while the reserves of commercial banks decreased by $12 million, reducing their volume to $5.253 billion.
According to economists, this increase in reserves is certainly limited, but it is being considered a positive sign despite external payments and import pressure. Experts say that the impact of global payments and export earnings in the coming weeks will determine the trend of reserves.
