IMF Reaches Staff-Level Agreement to Unlock $1.2 Billion for Pakistan Economy
The International Monetary Fund has reached a staff-level agreement with Pakistan to potentially unlock $1.21 billion in financing, pending approval from the IMF Executive Board. This includes about $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility and $210 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility, raising total disbursements to approximately $5.7 billion. The IMF noted Pakistan's efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability amid challenges like elevated inflation, energy price volatility linked to the Middle East conflict, and supply disruptions. However, risks remain due to geopolitical tensions and economic vulnerabilities.
