ISLAMABAD: According to data released by the central bank, the foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) as on June 30, 2025, were $14.51 billion.

In a brief update, the SBP said that its reserves were $9.39 billion as of June 30, 2024. This means that SBP’s reserves have increased by $5.12 billion to $14.51 billion during FY25.

The central bank said that the increase in reserves reflects a significant improvement in the country’s current account balance and planned disbursements during the year.

The State Bank usually releases the reserve position every Thursday, so a breakdown is likely to be released tomorrow. However, it is worth mentioning here that China had earlier this week lent Pakistan over $3.4 billion. The central bank likely received income from other sources as well, as its reserves stood at $9.06 billion last week (as of June 20, 2025).
