The International Monetary Fund Executive Board is set to meet on May 8 to consider approving a $1.2 billion disbursement for Pakistan under its ongoing support programme. The funding follows a staff-level agreement reached earlier this year and is seen as a critical step toward stabilising the country’s external finances. If approved, the tranche—part of a broader multi-billion dollar package—would help bolster foreign reserves, support fiscal reforms, and maintain macroeconomic stability.
The decision comes as Pakistan continues efforts to meet IMF conditions, including tight monetary policy and structural reforms, with significant implications for regional economic stability and investor confidence --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
