ISLAMABAD: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Executive Board is set to convene on December 8, 2025, to review and potentially approve a $1.2 billion disbursement for Pakistan.
Furthermore, the scheduled meeting follows the staff-level agreement reached between Pakistan and the IMF on October 14, 2025.
In this regard, the IMF officials confirmed that Pakistan has met all required conditions for the release of the funds, which form part of the country’s ongoing loan program.
In this sense, of the total amount, $1 billion is expected to be disbursed under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), an additional $200 million will be provided through the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) to support climate adaptation and long-term development initiatives.
Moreover, a key requirement ahead of the board’s consideration was the submission of Pakistan’s Corruption and Governance Diagnostic report.
In addition, IMF Deputy Managing Director Bo Li praised Pakistan’s reform efforts, describing them as a positive step toward stabilizing the economy and improving governance.
He noted that the RSF funding is designed to help countries strengthen climate resilience by supporting green budgeting practices, integrating climate risks into financial sector guidelines, improving access to climate-related data, and planning infrastructure projects that can withstand environmental challenges.
So far, these developments were also discussed during Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s participation at the 23rd Doha Forum, held at the Sheraton Grand in Doha.
The December 8 meeting will include deliberations on the second review of the Extended Fund Facility and the first review of the Resilience and Sustainability Facility.
The outcome of the session is expected to play an important role in shaping Pakistan’s economic trajectory as the country continues its efforts to strengthen financial stability and climate preparedness.
