KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) opened the new business week with gains ahead of a meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Executive Board to approve $1.2 billion loan tranche.
During early session, the KSE-100 index gained 775.99 points to reach 167,861.57 points, marking a positive change of 0.46 percent compared to previous close of 167,085.58 points.
The IMF Executive Board is scheduled to meet on today (Monday), to consider the approval of a $1.2 billion tranche for Pakistan.
Pakistan and the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on October 14, 2025. Pakistan has fulfilled all the required conditions to receive the next installment under its ongoing IMF loan programme.
Sources confirmed that $1 billion will be disbursed under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), while an additional $200 million will be released under the Climate Financing (RSF) framework to strengthen the country’s climate resilience and sustainable development efforts.
Prior to the board meeting, Pakistan submitted the Corruption and Governance Diagnostic report, which was a key precondition set by the IMF. Officials said the report demonstrates the country’s commitment to transparency and reform.
Earlier, IMF Deputy Director Bo Li lauded Pakistan’s ongoing reform agenda, calling it a strong example of putting the country on the right path toward economic recovery. The RSF support aims to help Pakistan promote green budgeting, integrate climate risk assessments into financial regulations, enhance transparency in climate-related data, and plan climate-resilient infrastructure projects.
