Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves climbed to $19.69 billion as of October 24, 2025, driven by a modest rise in the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) holdings, the central bank reported on Thursday.
According to the SBP’s weekly update, its reserves increased by $16 million during the week, reaching $14.47 billion. “During the week ended on 24-Oct-2025, SBP’s FX reserves increased by US$16 million to US$14,471.6 million,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves held by commercial banks were recorded at $5.22 billion.
The central bank’s reserves had also posted a slight gain of $14 million in the preceding week, indicating a gradual but consistent improvement in the country’s external buffers.
