Pakistan’s liquid foreign exchange reserves recorded a modest increase this week, with the State Bank of Pakistan reporting a rise of $16 million, taking its holdings to $16.072 billion for the week ending January 9, 2026.
According to the SBP’s weekly data, the country’s total foreign exchange reserves stood at $21.248 billion.
Reserves held by commercial banks stood at $5.177 billion during the week.
Overall, total liquid reserves increased by $56 million on a week on week basis, while the country’s import cover remained stable at around 3.4 months, reflecting a relatively improved external buffer.
