KARACHI:
Foreign exchange reserves eased marginally to $16.90 billion in the week ending January 6, from $16.92 billion the previous week, the central bank said on Thursday.
Reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) fell to $12.82 billion from $12.88 billion a week earlier, while those held by commercial banks rose to $4.08 billion.
Reserves hit a record $18.31 billion in the week ending July 30, but have since eased due to debt repayments.
