The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission is likely to visit Pakistan from September 25 in connection with the next tranche of $1 billion.
According to sources in the Ministry of Finance, the IMF mission may remain in Pakistan until October 10. Arrangements for the visit are currently being finalised, with protocol considerations under discussion between the parties involved.
Officials said the visit will take place under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility programme. During the stay, the IMF team will assess Pakistan’s economic performance.
Successful discussions may lead to the release of the next $1 billion tranche. Officials confirmed that, under the 37-month Extended Fund Facility agreement signed in September 2024, Pakistan has already received over $2 billion in two instalments.
In addition, an agreement on climate financing has also been reached between Pakistan and the IMF. Under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), the IMF will provide Pakistan with $1.3 billion over 28 months.
