The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said its foreign exchange reserves had decreased by 923 million US dollars last week.

During the week ending on Jan. 20, the total foreign exchange reserves of the Pakistani central bank fell to around 3.67 billion US dollars, the central bank said in a statement on Thursday night.

The decrease was "due to external debt repayments," reports Xinhua citing the statement.
