May 15, 2023 (MLN): The government of Pakistan on Monday signed a Debt Service Suspension Agreement with the Republic of Korea amounting to the deferment of payment of loans worth $19.911 million, under the G-20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) framework, said a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance. 

This amount initially had to be repaid between July and December 2021, but will be repaid over a period of six years (including a one-year grace period) in semi-annual installments, the statement added. 

Due to the support extended by the development partners of Pakistan, the G-20 DSSI has provided the fiscal space which was necessary to deal with the urgent health and economic needs of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The total amount of debt, that is to be suspended under the DSSI framework, covering the period of repayment from May 2020 to December 2021, stands at $3,686mn.

Pakistan has already concluded and signed 104 agreements with 21 bilateral creditors for the deferment of its debt repayments under the G-20 DSSI, amounting to $3,633mn.

The signing of the above-mentioned agreement brings this total to $3,653mn. Negotiations for the remaining agreements to be signed under the G-20 DSSI are ongoing.
