In other developments, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is set to hold an Executive Board meeting on September 25, where Pakistan’s new $7 billion loan program is expected to be approved. This program aims to support Pakistan’s ongoing economic reforms and stabilize its financial situation amid fiscal challenges.

IMF Director of Communications Julia Kozack confirmed the progress, stating that discussions with Pakistan had concluded in July. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has also prepared measures to address external financing needs, as highlighted by SBP Governor Jameel Ahmed during a recent analyst briefing.
