IMF mission to review Pakistan's EFF and RSF
An IMF staff mission led by Iva Petrova will visit Pakistan from Sept 23 for almost two weeks to conduct the fourth review of the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility and the third review of the $1.4 billion Resilience and Sustainability Facility for the period ending June 30, 2026. The team will meet the State Bank, sectoral government teams and finance minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, and will assess fiscal performance, including the Federal Board of Revenue's first half-yearly structural revenue benchmark. Success could unlock about $760 million SDRs (roughly $1 billion) under the EFF and $200 million under the RSF.
Pakistan may receive about $1.2 billion if reviews succeed.
Context
Pakistan agreed a 37-month IMF programme in 2024. The IMF will check recent fiscal and governance actions. If the review is successful, tranches may be disbursed.
