Pakistan has received approximately $1.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund after the successful completion of key reviews under the country’s ongoing financial support programs, the State Bank of Pakistan confirmed on Wednesday.
According to the central bank, the IMF Executive Board completed the third review under Pakistan’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) during its meeting held on May 8, 2026.
Following the review, the IMF approved the release of Special Drawing Rights (SDR) worth 760 million to Pakistan.
In addition, the lender approved the second tranche of SDR 154 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), which supports countries in improving economic resilience and addressing climate-related risks.
As a result, Pakistan received a total of SDR 914 million, equivalent to nearly $1.3 billion, from the IMF on May 12, 2026.
The State Bank of Pakistan said the inflow will be reflected in the country’s official foreign exchange reserves for the week ending May 15, 2026.
The latest disbursement comes as Pakistan continues implementing economic reforms and fiscal measures agreed with the IMF under its broader stabilization program.
