Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves rose to $26.84 billion as of November 6, 2026, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday.
The central bank’s foreign exchange reserves increased by $11 million during the week, reaching $21.57 billion. Meanwhile, net reserves held by commercial banks stood at $5.27 billion.
Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves have fluctuated in recent months due to changes in external financing inflows and debt repayments.
Inflows from multilateral financial institutions, commercial borrowing and international bond issuances have helped strengthen the country’s reserve position.
Disbursements under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), along with proceeds from a Panda bond issuance, have also supported reserve accumulation.
However, regular external debt repayments continue to put pressure on the SBP’s foreign exchange reserves.
