March 03, 2025 (MLN): Due to maturing foreign currency loans, securities, and deposits, Pakistan's foreign currency assets are expected to see a net outflow of $29.85 billion in the short term, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

Out of the total obligations, $26.19bn is due as principal repayments, while $3.65bn must be paid as interest.

The maturity breakdown revealed that $785 million is due within one month, $4.56bn will mature within one to three months, and the remaining $24.58bn is set for repayment in the next 3-12 months.

Furthermore, Pakistan holds short positions worth $2.92bn in forwards and futures contracts which has intensified the external repayment pressures.

However, the country also has long positions of $156m, though this amount is relatively insignificant compared to the overall liabilities.
