Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves fell by $319 million to $17.637 billion by the week ended on April 2.
The decline in reserves during the week was due to scheduled debt repayment.
Record high foreign exchange reserves of $17.956 billion during last week were mainly contributed by the international Monetary Fund (IMF) loan programme and Coalition Support Fund.
The foreign reserves of the country fell to $6.59 billion during the week ended on November 22, 2008 as the country witnessed economic crisis.
However, it was improved following the loan approval by the IMF under a standby arrangement of $7.6 billion in November 2008, which was further enhanced to $11.3 billion in August 2009.
