KARACHI (Web Desk) - Pakistan faces a nearly $25 billion foreign currency outflow as maturing loans, securities, and deposits come due, according to the State Bank of Pakistan's latest liquidity report.
The country expects a net outflow of $24.77 billion in foreign currency assets. The most urgent payment window is 1–3 months, accounting for $12.21 billion. Another $1.64 billion must be paid within the next month, while $10.92 billion is due in 3–12 months.
Of the total, $21.46 billion represents principal repayments and $3.31 billion covers interest payments.
Pakistan's official reserve assets totaled $26.68 billion as of April 30, 2026. The reserves include $11.54 billion in foreign currency, $9.61 billion in gold (2.08 million ounces), and $8.87 billion in currency and deposits.
