A slight gain of $41.7 million is seen in Pakistan’s foreign reserves.

According to figures issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Pakistan’s total liquid foreign reserves increased by a slight amount of $41.7 million, or 0.21%, to reach a total of $19.65 billion as of August 29, 2025.

The SBP’s own foreign exchange reserves, which rose by $28.2 million over the course of the week to $14.3 billion, were the main driver of the growth in reserves.

Meanwhile, commercial banks’ net reserves increased by $13.5 million, indicating a favorable shift.

Even if it is modest, the increase in reserves shows that Pakistan’s foreign exchange position has been steadily improving, which is important for the country’s economic stability, including the payment of imports and the management of its external debt.

This modification further illustrates continuous attempts to fortify and stabilize Pakistan’s financial situation in spite of outside influences.

The SBP’s reserves, a crucial measure of the nation’s capacity to fulfill its international commitments, currently total $10.66 billion, with commercial banks’ reserves adding $9.00 billion to the total amount of liquid foreign reserves.

Pakistan’s economy has benefited from the increase in reserves, as market watchers have noted that it improves the nation’s capacity to handle external financial difficulties.
