IMF – (Web Desk) – The IMF Executive Board is meeting this Friday in Washington, and Pakistan’s $1.2 billion tranche 2026 is widely expected to get the green light. The funds are coming through two separate programs — the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
- EFF — 3rd review $1B
- RSF — 2nd review $210M
- Staff deal signed Mar 27
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has confirmed that Pakistan fully met all preconditions under the staff-level agreement, clearing the path for today’s board approval.
Pakistan and the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on March 27, 2026. Since then, the country has worked to meet most of the conditions set by the lender. The Ministry of Finance says the process is now complete and the release is expected shortly after the board vote.
The bigger share — $1 billion — follows the successful third review under the EFF. The remaining $210 million comes through the second review under the RSF, a program designed to help countries build long-term economic resilience against climate and external shocks.
Once released, the money is expected to strengthen Pakistan’s foreign reserves, support economic stability, and help maintain the country’s standing with international creditors at a critical time.
