Karachi: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Jameel Ahmed said on Wednesday that Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves had jumped to cover two months' worth of imports after the arrival of the first tranche from the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) 37-month loan deal under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
