ISLAMABAD: China has agreed to reschedule $1.8 billion of Pakistan\u2019s debt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agreement covers a two-year period, easing immediate repayment pressure.<\/p>\n

This figure is roughly half of the amount Pakistan had initially requested.<\/p>\n

The revised deal is vital for Pakistan to stay on track with its IMF program.<\/p>\n

Pakistan faces over $8 billion in external debt maturities in FY25.<\/p>\n

This does not include the $13 billion in bilateral loans that are typically rolled over.<\/p>\n

IMF Programme Faces Crucial Test<\/strong><\/p>\n

The debt relief from China strengthens Pakistan\u2019s fiscal stability efforts.<\/p>\n

Delays in other rollovers could still endanger IMF compliance.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s economic managers are pushing hard to ensure all commitments are met.<\/p>\n

The IMF closely monitors bilateral loan arrangements in its review process.<\/p>\n

Officials say timely rescheduling signals global confidence in Pakistan\u2019s reforms.<\/p>\n

External Pressure Eased, But Not Eliminated<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this agreement offers short-term relief, more diplomacy is needed.<\/p>\n

Pakistan must still manage large repayments through FY25 and FY26.<\/p>\n

Experts caution that any disruption could derail the fragile economic recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
