Pakistan Requests $10 Billion Currency Support Facility from US After Iran War Mediation
Pakistan has requested a $10 billion Bilateral Exchange Stabilization Support Facility from the United States to strengthen its foreign exchange reserves and support its cash-strapped economy. This request follows Pakistan's diplomatic role in mediating talks related to the Iran war, which enhanced its international profile. If approved, the facility, with a maturity of up to five years, would help stabilize Pakistan's currency and reduce reliance on multilateral financing amid ongoing fiscal reforms under the IMF program.
