ISLAMABAD, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced that its foreign exchange reserves have increased by 3 million U.S. dollars following a significant decrease of almost 956 million dollars last week.

In the week ending on Nov. 11, the total foreign exchange reserves of the SBP increased to around 7.96 billion dollars, the central bank said in a statement on Thursday evening.
