Pakistan Seeks $10 Billion US Exchange Stabilization Facility Following Iran Mediation
Pakistan has formally requested a $10 billion Bilateral Exchange Stabilization Support Facility from the United States to bolster its foreign exchange reserves and ease pressure on the Pakistani rupee. This request follows Pakistan's diplomatic role in mediating talks related to the Iran conflict, which raised hopes of economic support from Washington. The facility, if approved, would have a maturity of up to five years and could reduce Pakistan's reliance on multilateral financing while it continues fiscal and monetary reforms under its IMF program. Pakistani Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb met US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss economic vulnerabilities and seek greater US support.
