Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves increased by $65.9 million to $26.863 billion in the week ended October 9, 2026, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). The increase reflects growth in both the central bank’s reserves and holdings maintained by commercial banks.
The SBP’s foreign exchange reserves rose by $15.8 million to $21.470 billion, compared with $21.454 billion a week earlier.
Meanwhile, reserves held by commercial banks increased by $50.1 million to $5.394 billion during the same period. According to the latest figures, Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves are sufficient to cover approximately 3.04 months of imports.
