SBP Injects Rs1.44T to Boost Liquidity

Islamabad, August 23, 2025, 09:23 PM PKT — The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has unleashed a massive liquidity boost, injecting Rs1.44 trillion into the financial system via Reverse Repo Purchase and Shariah-compliant Mudarabah-based Open Market Operations (OMO) to stabilize markets, as per official reports. In the Reverse Repo Purchase, Rs1.08 trillion was accepted across 7- and 13-day tenors from 15 bids: for the 13-day tenor, 14 bids totaling Rs1.19 trillion at 11.00%–11.08% saw Rs1 trillion accepted at 11.04%, with Rs0.158 trillion offers partially accepted on a pro-rata basis for Rs0.04525 trillion, while the 7-day tenor saw two bids of Rs0.078 trillion at 11.06%–11.08% fully accepted at 11.06%.

The Shariah-compliant OMOs added Rs0.363 trillion: the 13-day tenor had three bids totaling Rs0.122 trillion at 11.13%–11.14% accepted at 11.13%, and the 7-day tenor saw two bids of Rs0.241 trillion at 11.14% fully accepted. These operations underscore SBP’s aggressive stance to ensure market liquidity and stability. Web context on monetary policy shows past volatility, while posts found on X reflect relief mixed with concern—some applaud support, others question sustainability. Critically, the narrative of “liquidity management” may mask underlying pressures—web data hints at economic strain, and X sentiment suggests distrust in long-term stability, pointing to potential risks.
