ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have reached a staff-level agreement.
According to an official statement issued by the IMF, once the agreement receives formal approval from its Executive Board, Pakistan will gain access to approximately $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), in addition to $210 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
The IMF further noted that total disbursements under these combined arrangements are expected to reach nearly $4.5 billion, providing substantial financial support to help stabilize Pakistan’s economy and address ongoing fiscal challenges.

Officials added that the agreement reflects continued cooperation between Pakistan and the IMF, with further technical details and policy commitments to be finalized following approval by the IMF Executive Board.
