Foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan recorded a modest increase during the week ending March 6, 2026.
According to the central bank’s weekly report, Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves rose by $164 million, reaching $21.598 billion, compared with $21.434 billion in the previous week.
Reserves held by the State Bank itself increased by $41 million, bringing the total to $16.341 billion, up from $16.300 billion a week earlier.
Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves held by commercial banks stood at $5.257 billion, showing a weekly increase of $123 million.
The increase reflects ongoing inflows and adjustments in Pakistan’s external accounts as authorities continue efforts to stabilize the country’s foreign exchange position.
