IMF approves $1.32 billion disbursement for Pakistan. The International Monetary Fund has cleared funds under its Extended Fund Facility and Resilience and Sustainability Facility following a scheduled programme review. This brings total support to $4.8 billion within Pakistan's broader $7 billion reform programme. The approval signals continued IMF confidence in Pakistan's economic stabilization efforts, though future disbursements remain contingent on strict adherence to fiscal discipline, monetary tightening, and structural reforms. Pakistan must maintain tight macroeconomic policies, expand its tax base, improve energy sector efficiency, and strengthen public financial management. The bailout package addresses persistent balance-of-payments pressures, high inflation, and weak foreign exchange reserves that have challenged Pakistan's economy.
