Pakistan’s FX reserves rise to $22bn as SBP gains $611m from multilateral inflows
Official reserves climb to $16.5 billion during the week ended June 24, 2026, strengthening the country’s external liquidity position
Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves strengthened during the week ended June 24, 2026, with fresh inflows from multilateral institutions lifting the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) holdings by more than half a billion dollars.
Data released by the central bank on Thursday showed SBP-held reserves increased by $611 million to $16.5 billion, with the improvement attributed mainly to government inflows received from multilateral lenders.
The latest increase pushed the country's total liquid foreign exchange reserves to $22.0 billion by the end of the reporting week.
Of the overall reserves, the SBP accounted for $16.5 billion, while commercial banks held the remaining $5.5 billion, according to the central bank.
In its statement, the SBP said the increase in official reserves was "mainly due to GoP inflows from multilateral institutions," reinforcing Pakistan's external reserve position after recent fluctuations.
The reserve data reflects the country's foreign currency holdings as of June 24, 2026, providing the latest snapshot of Pakistan's external liquidity.
