International financial institutions have begun assessing the scale of destruction caused by devastating floods in Pakistan, but the government has not yet made a formal request for assistance, according to officials.
Resident offices of global lenders, including the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, have started monitoring the situation. Officials said the ADB had earlier announced $3 million in emergency aid, which has been provided as a grant to the Flood Relief Fund.
Finance Minister has said #Pakistan will use domestic resources to address the emergency. Sources noted that international lenders are closely watching developments but are awaiting an official appeal for broader support.
