July 13, 2020: Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has suspended debt service repayments for Pakistan and some other countries and companies for the year, the state-financed fund said on Sunday.

The fund provides financial assistance to companies in the United Arab Emirates and to developing countries, which has included Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.

Debt service repayments would be suspended for eligible countries and individual companies from Jan. 1 until Dec. 31, the fund said in a statement.

It did not say which countries or companies would benefit or what the criteria would need to be met to be eligible.

"At a time when the world is reeling under the effect of the pandemic ... it is imperative for us to support particularly those that need it most, especially the low-income countries," the fund's director-general Mohammed Saif al-Suwaidi said.
