Pakistan Seeks $10 Billion US Exchange Stabilisation Facility Following Iran Mediation Role
Pakistan has formally requested a $10 billion Exchange Stabilisation Support Facility from the United States to bolster its foreign exchange reserves and ease pressure on its economy. The request, made to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, follows Pakistan's diplomatic role in mediating talks related to the Iran conflict, which raised hopes for economic support. If approved, the facility would complement Pakistan's ongoing IMF program by reducing reliance on multilateral financing and supporting fiscal reforms. Both governments have expressed interest in deepening bilateral economic cooperation.
