Pakistan foreign exchange reserves stood at $26.863 billion as of October 9, 2026, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the central bank. That total is close to $27 billion and rose by $65.9 million over the week. Of this amount, the SBP held $21.470 billion, while commercial banks held $5.394 billion.
What the weekly figures show
The SBP's own reserves rose by $15.8 million during the week, from $21.454 billion a week earlier to $21.470 billion. Reserves kept by commercial banks went up by $50.1 million over the same period. The total liquid figure adds the two together and counts foreign currency that can be drawn on quickly.
What the cover figure means
The State Bank said the current dollar reserves can cover imports for 3.04 months. In simple terms, this is how many months of imports the available dollars could pay for if imports continued at the same pace. The report does not give earlier cover figures, so it does not show whether this cover is rising or falling.
What happens next
The sources do not mention any policy step or forecast for the coming weeks. Pakistan foreign exchange reserves will next be tracked in the following weekly State Bank update, which will show whether the total moves closer to $27 billion.
