Saudi Arabia Deposits $2 Billion in Pakistan’s Central Bank Reserves
Pakistan has received a significant financial boost as State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) confirmed the arrival of $2 billion from the Ministry of Finance Saudi Arabia.
According to the central bank, the funds were officially credited on April 15, 2026, and have now been added to the country’s foreign exchange reserves. This development provides timely support as Pakistan continues to manage external financing needs and upcoming debt repayments.
The fresh inflow is expected to strengthen reserve levels and improve overall financial stability. Pakistan has relied on assistance from partner countries in recent years to maintain adequate reserves and meet international financial commitments.
Saudi Arabia has consistently supported Pakistan through financial deposits, oil financing facilities, and rollover arrangements. These measures have played an important role in stabilizing the economy during challenging periods.
The latest deposit also helps offset the recent withdrawal of $2 billion linked to a bilateral long-term arrangement with the United Arab Emirates, helping maintain balance in the country’s reserve position.
