IMF Executive Board Expected to Approve $1.2 Billion for Pakistan

Islamabad: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released its Executive Board meeting schedule for December 8 to 14, with Pakistan’s case included for review. The Board is expected to examine the staff-level agreement reached with Pakistan and is likely to approve a total of $1.2 billion.

This includes the approval of a $1 billion tranche under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and an additional $200 million as the first tranche under the climate-focused Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

Pakistan is currently under a 37-month IMF program that began in September 2024. The country received its first $1 billion EFF tranche in September 2024, followed by a second $1 billion tranche in May 2025.

The upcoming meeting is expected to secure Pakistan’s third EFF tranche and the first RSF tranche, marking continued progress in the loan program.
