State Bank of Pakistan Reserves Edge Up to $21.57 Billion

State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reserves rose by $11.3 million, or 0.05% week-on-week, to reach $21.57 billion in the week ended November 06, 2026, according to a report by Mettis Global citing central bank data. This slight increase in central bank holdings occurred alongside a decline in the country’s total combined foreign reserves.

Total liquid reserves fell by $25.8 million, or 0.10%, to $26.84 billion, as commercial banks’ holdings dropped by $37.1 million to $5.27 billion. Despite the weekly fluctuations, SBP reserves have expanded significantly, growing by $3.10 billion, or 16.79%, in the current fiscal year, and by $5.52 billion, or 34.23%, in the current calendar year. These figures highlight the central bank’s strengthening reserve position relative to the wider national total.
