Pakistan Seeks $10 Billion US Exchange Stabilization Facility After Iran Mediation Role
Pakistan has formally requested a $10 billion exchange stabilization facility from the United States to strengthen its foreign exchange reserves and support its struggling economy. This request follows Pakistan's diplomatic role in mediating talks related to the Iran conflict, which raised hopes of enhanced economic cooperation with Washington. The proposed facility, with a maturity of up to five years, aims to ease pressure on the Pakistani rupee and reduce reliance on multilateral financing amid ongoing fiscal reforms under the IMF program. Both governments have expressed commitment to deepening bilateral economic ties.
