SBP reserves jump on eurobond inflow as outlook improves
Earlier, Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves recorded a notable increase in the last week of April, offering some relief after months of pressure on the external account.
Data released by the State Bank of Pakistan showed that reserves held by the central bank rose by $730.3 million, or 4.84 per cent, during the week ended April 24. This pushed the SBP’s total to $15.83 billion.
The rise was mainly driven by proceeds from a Pakistan eurobond, which helped strengthen the country’s reserve position. Analysts see this as a positive signal, especially as Pakistan continues efforts to stabilise its external finances.
The country’s overall reserves also moved up during the week. Total holdings increased by $640.5 million, or 3.1 per cent, to reach $21.27 billion. However, reserves held by commercial banks declined by $89.8 million, or 1.62 per cent, settling at $5.44 billion.
