On November 2, an IMF Delegation Will Evaluate Pakistan's $3 Billion SBA.
On November 2, 2023, a group from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will visit Pakistan to evaluate the country's $3 billion standby agreement (SBA), according to Esther Perez Ruiz, the IMF's resident representative, who made the announcement today.
She stated that the mission will be led by Mr. Nathan Porter, the IMF's director.
Recall that Pakistan obtained a 9-month SBA with the IMF in July of this year, valued at a whopping $3 billion. This arrangement was reached just as the cash-strapped country was about to go into default.
IMF quickly released $1.2 billion to help shore up reserves after this deal.
It is significant to note that a $700 million installment will be possible if the impending review is successful.
