The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved Pakistan’s latest reviews under two major loan arrangements, unlocking new financing for the country.
Pakistan will receive around $1.09 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and another $200 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). With the latest decision, total disbursements under both programs have now reached approximately $3.3 billion.
🇵🇰 What the new IMF approval means
The EFF program supports macroeconomic stability, while the RSF focuses on climate-related resilience and long-term sustainability initiatives. The fresh disbursement is expected to help Pakistan strengthen foreign exchange reserves, stabilize the economy, and continue ongoing reforms.
Officials say the government will now move ahead with measures aimed at:
-
Improving energy sector performance
-
Managing public debt and subsidies
-
Supporting digital and climate-focused development
💡 Reform commitments continue
The IMF approval typically comes with reform goals and performance benchmarks on fiscal discipline, revenue improvements, and governance of state-owned enterprises. The government is expected to implement further structural adjustments in key sectors over the coming months.
Pakistan remains engaged with the IMF to ensure regular reviews, continued disbursements, and policy continuity as it works to navigate economic challenges, high inflation, and external financing pressures.
