On November 2, an IMF Delegation Will Evaluate Pakistan's $3 Billion SBA.

On November 2, an IMF Delegation Will Evaluate Pakistan's $3 Billion SBA.

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.
