Rupee plunges after SBP reserves fall by $2.9bn

巴基斯坦国家银行储备减少29亿美元，卢比汇率暴跌

KARACHI: The rupee plunged to a historic low of Rs183.70 against the US dollar in the interbank market after the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reported a massive outflow of $2.9 billion on Thursday.

卡拉奇：周四，在巴基斯坦国家银行(SBP)报告29亿美元大规模外流后，卢比在银行间市场跌至183.70卢比兑1美元的历史低点。

The SBP announced that its foreign exchange reserves dropped to $12.047bn during the week ended on March 25 due to a major repayment of Chinese loans while the rest was regular debt servicing. “This decline reflects repayment of external debt including a major syndicated loan facility from China,” said the SBP.

巴基斯坦国家银行(SBP)宣布，在截至3月25日的一周内，其外汇储备降至1204.7亿美元，原因是偿还了一大笔贷款，而其余则是定期偿债。SBP表示：“这种下降反映了对外债的偿还，包括来自中国的银团贷款。”

The SBP did not mention the specific figure as repayment to Chinese syndicated loans. However, media repo­rts suggested that the SBP had repaid $2.4bn to China.

SBP没有提到偿还中国银团贷款的具体数字。然而，媒体报道称，SBP已向中国偿还了24亿美元。

“The rollover of this syndicated facility is being processed and is expected shortly,” said the SBP, adding that the amount is expected to come back in the reserves after completion of the rollover process.

SBP表示：“银团贷款的展期正在处理中，预计很快就会完成。”SBP补充称，预计在展期过程完成后，这些资金将回到外汇储备中。

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who is in China, said that his Chinese counterpart had assured him that Beiing has agreed in principle for granting rollover of $2.4bn in commercial loans to Pakistan.

正在中国访问的巴基斯坦外长库雷希表示，中方已原则上同意巴基斯坦的24亿美元商业贷款。

The political crisis in Pakistan resulted in outflows of foreign investments in the domestic bonds which weakened the local currency. About $387m from the Pakistan Investment Bonds and treasury bills left Pakistan in March alone.

巴基斯坦的政治危机导致外国投资流出国内债券，使当地货币贬值。仅在3月份，巴基斯坦的投资债券和国库券就流出了3.87亿美元。

Pakistan borrowed heavily from China during the last three years to meet its foreign obligations while the previous debts of the Paris Club and other financial institutions have already burdened the economy.

在过去三年里，巴基斯坦为履行对外债务向中国大量借款，而此前巴黎俱乐部和其他金融机构的债务已使其经济负担沉重。

A countries foreign policy has a direct bearing on its economic health. When you play fast and loose with your foreign policy, your citizens pay an economic price for it. This is especially true if the country is heavily dependent on its exports or remittances. Changing a country's foreign policy needs to be a gradual and deliberate process. Right now it looks more haphazard and knee-jerk.

一个国家的外交政策对自身经济健康有直接影响。当你在外交政策上反复无常时，你的公民会为此付出经济代价。如果一个国家严重依赖出口或汇款，更是这样。改变一个国家的外交政策需要一个循序渐进、深思熟虑的过程。现在看来，这更像是偶然和下意识的。
