Karachi: Pakistan\u2019s foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) rose by USD 21 million to USD 14.4 billion during the week ending September 26, the central bank said on Thursday. The country\u2019s total liquid reserves stood at USD 19.797 billion, up USD 3 million from the previous week. However, reserves held by commercial banks slipped by USD 18 million to USD 5.396 billion. The latest figures came as Pakistan successfully repaid a USD 500 million Eurobond that matured on September 30. Issued in 2015 with a 10-year tenor, the repayment was highlighted by the government as evidence of budgetary discipline, stronger reserves, improving credit ratings, and a more sustainable debt profile.
