Although the rise is somewhat minor, it indicates a shift away from the downward trend seen in recent months. Experts think that any increase in Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves is beneficial for the economy as it aids in stabilizing the currency and facilitating imports.
Nevertheless, it is important to emphasize that the nation continues to encounter considerable economic obstacles, and continuous increases in reserves are necessary to instill trust in the economy and draw in foreign investments.
The SBP will keep a close watch on the situation and implement necessary steps to protect the financial stability of the country.
