Pakistan’s Forex Reserves Fall by $1.26 Billion on Debt Payments
Pakistan’s liquid foreign exchange reserves declined by $1.26 billion during the week ending June 19, 2026, primarily due to external debt servicing, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
The country’s total liquid reserves stood at $21.485 billion as of June 19, down from $22.746 billion the previous week. The fall was recorded in the central bank’s holdings, which dropped by $1.305 billion to $15.916 billion. Meanwhile, reserves held by commercial banks saw a slight increase.
The SBP noted that the decline is expected to be offset by $2.4 billion in external inflows received subsequently, which will be reflected in the reserves data for the week ending June 30, 2026.
