Pakistan has received $1.2 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), confirming the funds have been transferred to the State Bank.
The release follows approval by the IMF Executive Board earlier this week, ensuring Pakistan’s IMF programme remains on track.
The disbursement includes $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and $200 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
Officials said the full amount has been credited to the State Bank account, unlocking the latest tranche after Pakistan’s loan review.

The IMF appreciated Pakistan’s reform and stabilisation efforts, highlighting easing inflation, stronger foreign reserves, and improved investor confidence.
Focus areas for continued reform include strengthening public finances, restoring energy sector viability, accelerating productivity reforms, and maintaining tight monetary policy.
Under RSF conditions, Pakistan must improve water pricing, disaster-response coordination, and climate-related financial risk disclosure, while advancing large-scale privatisation like PIA’s upcoming stake sale.
