Karachi: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) provided substantial liquidity to the banking sector through its overnight repo facility, injecting Rs. 67 billion on May 26, 2025. This move reflects the central bank’s approach to managing short-term liquidity needs in the domestic financial markets.
According to data released by the Domestic Markets and Monetary Management Department of the SBP, only one institution accessed the overnight repo facility, utilizing the full amount of Rs. 67 billion. This facility serves as a critical tool for financial institutions to cover short-term liquidity shortages.
The report also noted that there were no institutions accessing the overnight reverse repo facility on the same date. The reverse repo facility allows institutions to deposit excess funds with the central bank, which was not utilized in this instance.
The State Bank of Pakistan continues to monitor market conditions closely, adjusting its liquidity management strategies to ensure stability in the financial system. The data highlights the central bank’s role in facilitating smooth operations within the banking sector through its monetary tools.
