Saudi Arabia Extends $3 Billion Financing Facility for Pakistan
Saudi Arabia has extended its $3 billion financing facility to Pakistan for a "reasonable period," Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb confirmed. The facility, initially provided in April for three months, supports Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves, which currently cover over three months of imports. Saudi Arabia had also extended a separate $5 billion support until 2028. Aurangzeb noted Pakistan has secured market access through recent bond issuances and remains cautious about expectations regarding a $10 billion US Exchange Stabilisation Support Facility.
