IMF Executive Board to Decide on May 9

Previous Mission Recommended $1.1 Billion
It’s important to note that the IMF mission that visited Pakistan had already recommended $1.1 billion for release under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF). That recommendation was made on March 25 during the final review meeting with Pakistani authorities.
Out of this amount, $700 million may now be approved as a separate climate finance support, which is a big step forward in IMF’s support for climate-vulnerable countries like Pakistan.
Why This Matters
This upcoming financial support is a major boost for Pakistan. It not only strengthens the country’s foreign reserves but also shows the IMF’s trust in Pakistan’s economic direction. Moreover, it highlights the global recognition of Pakistan’s urgent need to fight climate-related challenges, such as floods, droughts, and rising temperatures.
