The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has presented a new demand for Pakistan to address its external financing gap.
During virtual discussions, the IMF highlighted Pakistan’s $5 billion external financing gap and requested a comprehensive framework to bridge this deficit. Sources indicate that Pakistan may seek support from China and Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Finance is reportedly preparing for a $3.4 billion rollover from China, with a formal request to reschedule the loan expected in mid-November.
