KARACHI: Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves declined to $21.150 billion during the week ended April 21 from $21.568 billion a week earlier, the central banks said on Thursday. Reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan showed a decrease of $366 million to stand at $16.050 billion. The drop in the SBP’s forex reserves was attributed to external debt servicing and other official payments. The foreign currency reserves of commercial banks amounted to $5.100 billion, compared with $5.152 billion in the previous week.
