Foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) increased by $116 million on a weekly basis, clocking in at $11.16 billion as of October 25, data released on Thursday showed.

Total liquid foreign reserves held by the country stood at $16.05 billion. Net foreign reserves held by commercial banks stood at $4.89 billion.

The central bank did not specify a reason for the increase in reserves.

“During the week ended on 25-Oct-2024, SBP reserves increased by US$ 116 million to US$ 11,156.4 million,” it said.

Last week, SBP foreign exchange reserves increased by $18 million.

The recent increase in the SBP reserves has come on the back of an inflow from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Last month, the central bank received the first tranche of Special Drawing Rights (SDR) 760 million, equivalent to $1.03 billion, from the IMF after its Executive Board approved the 37-month, $7-billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Pakistan.

The Pakistani authorities and the IMF team reached a staff-level agreement on the EFF in the amount equivalent to SDR 5,320 million (or about USD 7 billion) on July 12.

We were supposed to make large payments & default in Oct'24. In reality it is increasing by 100m or 200m on week. Was the econ pundits wrong or we are seeing an economic revolution by Shahbaz led gov.
