Islamabad: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released its Executive Board meeting calendar, convening a session on December 8 to approve Pakistan’s next loan tranche.
The IMF’s Executive Board has called a meeting on December 8 to greenlight the immediate release of $1.2 billion to Pakistan under two ongoing programs. This includes $1 billion under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and $200 million for climate financing through the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
Under the agreement, the $1.02 billion is expected to be transferred to Pakistan’s account on December 9, bringing total disbursements under both programs to approximately $3.3 billion.
Ahead of the board meeting, Pakistan is anticipated to publish its Governance and Corruption Diagnostic (GCD) Assessment Report, a key structural benchmark under the EFF. The report’s deadline was originally set for the end of July, later extended to August and October, but remains unpublished due to technical and factual disagreements between Pakistani officials and IMF experts. Officials now confirm these issues have been resolved, and Pakistan has assured the IMF that the report will be released before the board convenes.
It may be recalled that on October 14, Pakistan and the IMF reached a Staff-Level Agreement (SLA) on the second review of the $7 billion EFF and the first review of the $1.4 billion RSF.
