In a curious twist of fate last week, there was a breather for the falling foreign exchange reserves. The figures gained an average of $76.5 million in seven days. The gross component gained $83.3 million between July 12 and July 19 to close at $33.17 billion while the liquid part climbed from 32.85 billion to 32.92 billion.

As of July 19 when the most recent data were published, $251.46 million or 0.76 per cent of the total sum was blocked – the highest proportion since March 29.
