KARACHI: Total liquid foreign exchange reserves held by the country amounted to $23.091 billion as compared to $23.062 billion last week, according to a central bank statement issued on Thursday. Foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) decreased by $27 million to $18.077 billion during the week ended July 21, as compared to at $18.104 billion a week ago.
