SBP foreign exchange reserves rise by $70 million, reaching $10.68 billion

ISLAMABAD: Foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) saw an increase of $70 million in the week ending March 28, reaching a total of $10.68 billion, according to data released on Thursday.

The country’s total liquid foreign reserves stood at $15.58 billion, with commercial banks holding $4.90 billion in net foreign reserves.

While the central bank did not specify the cause behind the increase, the reserves saw a modest rise after last week’s dip to a six-month low of $15.58 billion, primarily due to debt repayments.

“The SBP reserves rose by $70 million to $10,676.3 million during the week ending March 28, 2025,” the central bank stated.
