China rolls over $2 billion loan to Pakistan
2023-03-25
[The Nation (Pak)] China has rolled over its safe deposit of $2 billion with Pakistain on the existing terms as Islamabad’s foreign exchange reserves escaped further decline.

In a major development to secure a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China has rolled over $2 billion, sources within the finance ministry said.

For the revival of the stalled loan programme with the IMF, Pakistain had to confirm external financing with the fund.

Beijing has rolled over the safe deposit with Pakistain for a year.

Last week, sources within the finance ministry said Pakistain was seeking to get $2 billion each from China and Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
, while meetings were underway to get $1 billion from the United Arab Emirates.

Earlier, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar assured that details of the staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would be made public.

Speaking at the Senate Committee of the Whole, the minister said once the staff agreement is signed, it will be put on the website of the Finance Ministry and nothing will be concealed.
