Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves saw a modest increase this week, with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reporting a $13 million rise. This brings the country’s liquid reserves to $15.915 billion for the week ending December 26, 2025.

The SBP’s weekly data also shows that Pakistan’s total foreign exchange reserves now stand at $21.012 billion. Meanwhile, commercial banks experienced a slight decline, with their combined reserves falling by $23 million to close at $5.09 billion.

Market analysts from Topline Securities remain optimistic, forecasting that SBP’s liquid reserves could reach $17.4 billion by June 2026, provided current trends continue.

This uptick comes at a time when economic stability and liquidity remain key focus areas for Pakistan’s financial authorities, offering a positive start to the new year for investors and policymakers alike.
