Pak's foreign exchange reserves cross USD 22 bn

Business To Business, Karachi, 22nd May, 2026:   The foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan have crossed the USD 22 billion mark for the first time in more than four years, according to the central bank’s weekly statement released on Friday.
The bank said Pakistan’s reserves increased by USD 1.214 billion during the week. It added that the rise came after the clearance of certain external debt payments made last week.
The improvement in reserves is being viewed as a positive sign for Pakistan’s economy, which has faced persistent pressure from external debt obligations, inflation, and currency volatility in recent years.
Higher foreign exchange reserves help strengthen a country’s ability to manage imports, stabilise its currency, and meet international payment commitments.
