KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan reported that on October 30, 2025, four financial institutions accessed its Overnight Repo Facility, borrowing a total of Rs. 146,300 million. This transaction underscores the institutions' liquidity management strategies amid prevailing market conditions.
According to the central bank, no institutions utilized the Overnight Reverse Repo Facility on the same date, indicating an absence of excess liquidity among banks in need of short-term investment opportunities.
The Overnight Repo Facility serves as a critical tool for financial institutions to manage daily liquidity needs, allowing them to borrow funds from the central bank against collateral. The absence of activity in the Reverse Repo Facility reflects market trends and the banks' current liquidity requirements.
The State Bank of Pakistan continues to provide these facilities to maintain stability and efficiency in the financial sector.
