Foreign reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) increased by $21 million in the week ending February 6, 2026, marking a 0.1% rise compared to the previous week. The central bank’s weekly report highlighted a total liquid foreign exchange reserve of $21.375 billion, up from $21.339 billion.
The SBP’s core reserves rose to $16.178 billion, compared to $16.157 billion a week earlier. Commercial banks also reported higher net foreign reserves, totaling $5.197 billion, an increase of $15 million, reflecting improved financial stability.
The incremental growth in reserves is seen as a positive indicator amid ongoing global economic challenges. Analysts say the steady inflow strengthens Pakistan’s ability to meet international obligations and sustain liquidity, while supporting investor confidence and financial planning in the country.
