The government sector borrowings are divided into three broad categories based on the purpose of the loan which are budgetary support, commodity operations, and others.

Split three ways between these broad categories, the weekly net borrowing for budgetary support was Rs280.03bn, while the retirement off commodity operations stood at Rs3.28bn.

Meanwhile, a total of Rs37.54m was borrowed for others during the week.

Accordingly, this takes the cumulative retirement off the current fiscal year 2025 to Rs1.07 trillion for budgetary support, Rs228.23bn retirement off Commodity Operations, and Rs0.97bn retirement off others.

The two biggest sources of financing for budgetary support are the State Bank of Pakistan and the scheduled banks.
