The IMF Executive Committee plans to meet with Pakistani officials on May 9 to review the ongoing expansion of the fund facilities and to consider financing requests under resilient and sustainable facilities. The board will make a new $1.3 billion arrangement under Pakistan’s climate resilience plan, in addition to evaluating the ongoing $7 billion bailout package.
As of December 31, 2024, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided 764 public sector loans, grants and technical assistance to Pakistan, totaling US$43.4 billion. ADB's current sovereign portfolio in the country includes 53 loans and 3 grants worth $9.13 billion. This includes a $320 million loan for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa rural road development project, which aims to upgrade about 900 kilometers of flooded rural roads.
In January 2025, the World Bank also approved a $20 billion loan plan for Pakistan to help cash-strapped countries cope with their economic challenges.
Meanwhile, Pakistan asserted that it had the “right” to demand “under appropriate circumstances” to the UN Security Council meeting, as tensions with India suffered terrorist attacks in Pahalgam last month, killing 26 people. “We see all this happenings in the context of the situation in Jamu and Kashmir, and in the context of Jamu and Kashmir,” Pakistan said in a press conference. Ahmad answered the question of whether Pakistan plans to formally seek a Security Council meeting after the deadly attacks in Jamu and Kashmir on April 22, which has led to an intensification of diplomatic friction between the two countries.
