KARACHI: The foreign exchange reserves of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reached a four-year high, increasing by $22 million during the week ending on Nov 7, the central bank reported on Thursday.

The SBP’s total reserves now stand at $14.524 billion, surpassing the previous high of $14.506bn recorded in June.

While this figure is significantly higher than the $9.814bn reported in FY22, it remains below the $17.298bn seen in FY21.

The country’s total liquid foreign reserves stood at $19.724bn, including $5.199bn held by banks.

Furthermore, Pakistan is expected to receive $1.2bn from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) next month, further bolstering the SBP’s foreign exchange reserves.
