ISLAMABAD, Dec 8 (Reuters) – Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves held by the central bank fell by $784 million to $6.7 billion as of Dec. 2, the central bank said in a statement on Thursday.
“This decline is on account of the payment of US $1,000 million against maturing Pakistan International Sukuk and some other external debt repayments,” the statement said.
It said some debt repayments were offset by inflows, mainly $500 million received from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
