Karachi: The State Bank of Pakistan has disclosed details regarding its overnight reverse repo facility usage, revealing that on November 19, 2025, two financial institutions accessed the facility for a total sum of Rs. 351,500 million. In contrast, there was no utilization of the overnight repo facility on the same date.

The information, released by the Domestic Markets and Monetary Management Department of the central bank, highlights the engagement of financial institutions with the central bank's liquidity management tools. The reverse repo facility, which acts as a ceiling, allows institutions to manage short-term liquidity needs by borrowing funds from the central bank with securities as collateral.

No institution accessed the overnight repo facility, which serves as the floor, indicating a lack of surplus liquidity among the institutions on the reported date. This facility typically allows banks to park excess funds with the central bank in exchange for short-term securities.

The data underscores the central bank's role in facilitating liquidity management in the domestic financial market. The activity on this particular day suggests a demand for liquidity among financial institutions, which sought support from the central bank's reverse repo facility.

The figures, provided by the State Bank of Pakistan, are part of regular updates on the usage of monetary tools designed to ensure stability within the financial system.
