Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have reached a staff-level agreement that could unlock around $1.2 billion in additional funding, pending approval from the IMF’s executive board. The agreement is part of the ongoing $7 billion loan programme, aimed at stabilising Pakistan’s economy and strengthening financial reserves.
Under the deal, Pakistan is expected to receive about $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and roughly $200–210 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). Once approved, the disbursement will bring total funds released under the programme to approximately $4.5 billion.
The IMF has urged Pakistan to maintain tight monetary policy, control inflation, and continue structural reforms, including improving the energy sector and strengthening public finances. Officials also highlighted risks from global energy prices and regional geopolitical tensions, which could impact Pakistan’s economic outlook.
The agreement marks another step in Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to stabilise its economy, rebuild investor confidence, and manage external financing pressures under IMF oversight.
