Earlier today the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities confirmed to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) their bilateral support of $1bn to Pakistan.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is now engaged for needful documentation for taking the said deposit from UAE authorities, he said

To release the next tranche of loans to the crisis-hit country, the IMF has laid forth key demands, which include assurances from friendly nations.

The IMF requires friendly nations to fulfill their pledges to fund Pakistan before finalizing the $6.5bn bailout program which led to a delay in talks between Pakistan and the IMF to resume the program.
