Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves increased to $23.72 billion as of September 4, 2026, following the receipt of commercial loan proceeds by the government.
According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the central bank’s foreign exchange reserves rose by $1.21 billion during the week under review, reaching $18.33 billion.
The SBP said the entire weekly increase was attributed to the receipt of commercial loan proceeds by the Government of Pakistan.
Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves held by commercial banks stood at $5.39 billion during the same period.
With the latest increase, the country’s total liquid reserves reached $23.716 billion, comprising $18.328 billion held by the SBP and $5.388 billion maintained by commercial banks.
The rise in reserves provides additional support to Pakistan’s external liquidity position as the country continues to manage its foreign financing and balance-of-payments requirements.
