SBP reserves rise $11m to $21.6bn

State Bank of Pakistan reserves edged up by $11.3 million, or 0.05% week on week, to $21.57 billion in the week ended November 06, 2026, Mettis Global reported, citing SBP data. The increase in central bank holdings came alongside a decline in the country’s 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 movement, SBP reserves have expanded 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. The figures distinguish the central bank’s reserve position from the wider national total.
