Breakdown: Foreign reserves held by the SBP: $8,985.3 million; Net foreign reserves held by commercial banks: $5,957.7 million; Total liquid foreign reserves: $14,943.0 million. The announcement comes as the government desperately tries to revive the stalled International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme to boost the depleting foreign exchange reserves.In its attempt to revive it, the government announced another massive hike in the price of petroleum products and ended the subsidies on it – a key demand of the IMF. Finance Minister Miftah Ismail has also pinned hopes on Chinese banks refinancing $2.3 billion worth of funds which, according to him, will be received this month.
