The International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday it had reached a staff level agreement with Pakistan, which if approved by its board, will disburse $1.1 billion for the South Asian country's broken economy as it struggles with a balance of payment crisis.
The funds are the final tranche of a $3 billion last-gasp rescue package Pakistan secured last summer, which averted a sovereign debt default. Islamabad is also seeking another long-term bailout.
"The IMF team has reached a staff-level agreement with the Pakistani authorities on the second and final review of Pakistan's stabilization program," the IMF said in a statement.
"This agreement is subject to approval by the IMF's Executive Board," it added. The deal expires on April 11 and while Pakistan has yet to be added to the IMF's executive board's calendar, officials say board approval is expected sometime in April.
The deal comes after the IMF mission held five days of talks with Pakistani officials to review the fiscal benchmarks set for the loan.
"Pakistan's economic and financial position has improved in the months since the first review, with growth and confidence continuing to recover on the back of prudent policy management and the resumption of inflows from multilateral and bilateral partners," the IMF said.
