August 13, 2025 (MLN): An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan next month to review the country’s economic performance, sources revealed.
The visit comes as Pakistan seeks endorsement from international financial institutions to facilitate the release of a $1 billion loan tranche.
The IMF had earlier approved a $7bn loan program for Pakistan, of which $2bn has already been disbursed. In May 2025, alongside approving a new tranche, the IMF also sanctioned $1.4bn under its climate finance arrangement to support Pakistan’s environmental initiatives.
Furthermore, Pakistan is to receive around $260 million under the climate financing scheme by the end of September, marking another step in the country’s ongoing engagement with international financial institutions, as per sources.
