Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves inched higher during the week ending August 29, 2025, offering a modest yet encouraging signal of financial resilience. According to official figures, the country’s total liquid reserves climbed by $41.7 million—or 0.21%—to reach $19.65 billion. The uptick was led by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), whose holdings rose by $28.2 million to settle at $14.3 billion. Commercial banks also added to the momentum, posting a $13.5 million increase in their net reserves. With reserves underpinning import capacity and external debt servicing, even incremental gains bolster Pakistan’s economic buffer at a time of heightened global uncertainty.
