Islamabad, Pakistan – Web Desk: Pakistan has secured assurances of more than $5 billion in financial support from friendly countries as it prepares to meet key external payment obligations, according to official sources.
The development comes as Pakistan moves to settle a $2 billion payment to the United Arab Emirates after arranging funds through alternative financing channels.
Officials said Pakistan faces total external repayments of approximately $4.8 billion by June, adding that the government has already made arrangements to meet these obligations.
Sources further indicated that Pakistan’s total liabilities to the UAE amount to around $3.5 billion across three different financial arrangements.
In addition, a $1.3 billion Eurobond is set to mature this week after completing its 10-year tenure, requiring immediate repayment.
Analysts view the financial backing from allied countries as critical support for Pakistan’s economic stability amid ongoing fiscal pressures and global market uncertainty.
