Pakistan has received approximately $1.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) following the successful completion of key program reviews, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) 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 Board approved the disbursement of Special Drawing Rights (SDR) 760 million to Pakistan.
In addition, the IMF approved the second tranche of SDR 154 million under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), a program designed to support countries in strengthening economic resilience and addressing climate-related vulnerabilities.
As a result, the SBP received a total of SDR 914 million, equivalent to roughly $1.3 billion, from the IMF on May 12, 2026.
