The State Bank of Pakistan has released the data for foreign exchange reserves. The State Bank of Pakistan releases data for forex reserve updates on a weekly basis. Meaning, for example, June 7th forex reserve data will be published on June 14th. Therefore, it has a one-week gap. Take India, for instance, which releases data monthly, and Sri Lanka also releases data for its forex reserve monthly. In Pakistan, its forex reserve position is published on a weekly basis. However, the State Bank of Pakistan released the forex data of June 19th, 2025, which showcased that Pakistan's forex reserve dropped around USD 2.6 billion due to China's external debt repayment, which was made by the government of Pakistan.
Moreover, now the Pakistan State Bank's forex reserve stands at around USD 9 billion, and overall the forex reserve standing was around USD 14 billion due to commercial banks' forex reserve stands of around USD 5 billion. The State Bank of Pakistan clarified that Pakistan has received around USD 3.6 billion, which includes commercial loans and an Asian Development Bank loan as well, which amounts to USD 500 million. It will be reflected in State Bank of Pakistan reserve data next week. However, it does not seem possible for the State Bank of Pakistan for its reserve to be around USD 14 billion, as it will be near USD 12.6 billion or more.
