Pakistan's Foreign‑Exchange Reserves Tick Up to About $22.67 Billion

Overview

• The State Bank published weekly FX data showing total reserves for the week ending 5 June 2026 rose by about $35.7 million to roughly $22.67 billion, while one outlet rounded the total to $22.62 billion.
• Central‑bank reserves increased by about $25 million to approximately $17.21 billion and commercial banks' net FX reserves rose by about $11 million to about $5.45 billion.
• The move is a modest, routine shift that likely reflects short‑term inflows, repayments, valuation effects and rounding rather than a structural improvement in external finances.
• Several national outlets carried the State Bank figures on 11–12 June 2026 and small discrepancies between reports are due to different rounding, formatting or source summaries.
• The uptick slightly strengthens short‑term import and debt buffers but policymakers and markets will need several weeks of sustained gains to change Pakistan's broader external‑liquidity outlook.
