KARACHI (Dunya News) – The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has reported an increase of $43 million in its foreign exchange reserves for the week ending May 29, 2026.
According to official data issued by the State Bank of Pakistan, the central bank’s reserves rose to $17.194 billion, reflecting a modest weekly improvement in external liquidity positions.
Commercial banks also held net foreign exchange reserves of $5.446 billion during the same period. With both components combined, the country’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves stood at $22.64 billion.
The central bank stated that the overall reserves remain at a stable level, which is considered an important indicator of Pakistan’s capacity to meet external payment obligations and maintain financial stability.
Analysts note that even small weekly increases in reserves contribute to improving investor sentiment, particularly at a time when the country is closely managing its external account position.
The SBP continues to monitor inflows and outflows to ensure stability in the foreign exchange market amid ongoing economic adjustments.
