Pakistan is going to get another big loan. On Wednesday (October 15, 2025), the Pakistani government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reached agreement on a staff-level agreement (SLA) on loan programs, paving the way for Pakistan to access a loan of US $ 1.2 billion.
According to PTI report, IMF will give one billion US dollars to Pakistan under its Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and after approval from the Executive Board of IMF, Pakistan will also be given $200 million under Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). In this way he is going to get a total of 3.3 billion dollars.
The IMF mission led by Eva Petrova completed negotiations last week with Pakistani officials on the second review of the EFF agreed in 2024 and the first review of the RSF climate loan agreed this year. However, the mission returned from Pakistan without signing the staff level agreement.
Eva Petrova said in a statement issued on Wednesday (October 15, 2025) that the staff-level agreement is subject to the IMF’s Executive Board for approval. “With EFF’s support, Pakistan’s economic program is strengthening macroeconomic stability and regaining market confidence,” he said.
Noting the progress made on Pakistan’s policy priorities, he said, ‘Officials reaffirmed their commitment to EFF and RSF-supported programs and to maintaining sound and prudent macroeconomic policies while pursuing ongoing structural reforms.’
He said the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is committed to a prudent monetary policy stance to ensure that inflation remains within the target range of 5-7 per cent. On the issue of cyclical debt for the power sector, Eva Petrova said Pakistan is committed to curbing its accumulation through timely tariff adjustments, which will ensure cost recovery and maintain a progressive tariff structure.
