Dr. Shamshad Akhtar, the acting federal minister for finance, revenue, and economic affairs, stated that Pakistan expects to raise about $4.5 billion in the current fiscal year (2023–24) from both bilateral and multilateral sources, except the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In an interview with ICMA International’s official flagship journal, the minister stated that the government anticipates receiving more over $1.6 billion from these sources in the second quarter (Q2). The Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are among the main creditors, she said, adding that both project- and program-based funding had been received. She stated that agreements have been reached on a few programme loans, and payments are anticipated. The nation plans to keep paying down its debts on schedule. At the moment, it is doing so.
