M2 rises by Rs120bn in a week

Mettis Link News reported, citing State Bank of Pakistan data, that broad money in Pakistan (M2) rose by Rs119.98 billion in the week to September 25, 2026, reaching Rs44.22 trillion. That total remains Rs2.24 trillion below its level at the end of June 2026, when the aggregate stood at Rs46.46 trillion.

Notes and coins in circulation dropped by Rs127.74 billion week on week, reaching Rs11.58 trillion. Currency made up 26.18 per cent of M2, down from 26.54 per cent a week earlier. Bank deposits climbed Rs249.79 billion over the week to Rs32.59 trillion, yet they are still Rs1.87 trillion lower than at the start of the fiscal year.

On the liability side, M2 combines currency, private sector deposits including those held in foreign currency by residents, and other deposits placed with the SBP. The bank deposit figure excludes inter-bank balances, government deposits and deposits of foreign entities.
