The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will meet today to review Pakistan’s economic performance under two key lending programs, according to the Fund’s official schedule.
The Board will consider Pakistan’s second review under the 37-month Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the first review of the 28-month Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
If approved, Pakistan could receive around $1.2 billion in new funding, including approximately $1.0 billion under the EFF and $200 million under the RSF. These disbursements would push total funds released to Pakistan under both programs to nearly $3.3 billion.
The review follows a staff-level agreement reached in October after IMF officials held talks with Pakistani authorities in Karachi, Islamabad, and Washington, DC. The agreement—announced on October 15—is now awaiting final approval from the Executive Board.
Pakistan’s finance ministry said IMF officials have called the country “a very good example of reform and resilience” as the government continues implementing policy adjustments required under the Fund’s programs.
The Board meeting is scheduled for December 8, and a formal announcement is expected following the session.
