Pakistan has received around $1.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) following the approval of key financial support installments under ongoing economic reform programs, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) announced.

The IMF Executive Board, during its meeting on May 8, 2026, completed the third review of Pakistan’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program and authorized the release of SDR 760 million to the country.

Alongside this, the Board also cleared the second tranche amounting to SDR 154 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), which supports member countries in strengthening economic resilience and addressing long-term climate and structural challenges.

Following these approvals, the SBP received a combined SDR 914 million, equivalent to nearly $1.3 billion, on May 12, 2026.

The central bank said the inflow will be incorporated into Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves for the week ending May 15, 2026, providing additional support to external financing requirements and helping reinforce the country’s reserve position.
