ISLAMABAD: The International Monetary Fund’s Executive Board is set to convene on December 8, 2025, to deliberate on the release of a $1.2 billion tranche for Pakistan, as outlined in the IMF’s official schedule issued on Thursday.
This development follows the staff-level agreement reached between Pakistan and the IMF on October 14, 2025. Authorities have confirmed that all prior conditions attached to the next disbursement have been successfully met. Of the total amount, $1 billion is expected under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), while $200 million will be provided through the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) aimed at enhancing Pakistan’s climate preparedness and sustainable growth.
As part of the key requirements, Pakistan recently submitted its Corruption and Governance Diagnostic report to the IMF. Officials stated that the report reflects the government’s commitment to institutional reforms and transparent governance.
Earlier, IMF Deputy Managing Director Bo Li commended Pakistan’s reform efforts, describing them as a positive move toward economic stabilization and recovery. The RSF funding will support initiatives such as green budgeting, incorporation of climate risk into financial oversight, improved disclosure of climate data, and development of climate-resilient infrastructure.
The progress was also highlighted during Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s participation in the 23rd Doha Forum at the Sheraton Grand Doha, where he spoke as a distinguished panelist on Pakistan’s long-term economic and climate resilience strategy.
The forthcoming IMF board session will review Pakistan’s second assessment under the EFF and the first under the RSF, representing a major milestone in the country’s ongoing reform program.
