Karachi (Daily Paklish) The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said on Thursday that the country has received $2 billion from the Ministry of Finance, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in a post on X.
The central bank said the funds were received “in the value date of April 15, 2026”.
The news comes a day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Saudi Arabia for the first part of his three-nation tour amid ongoing active negotiation efforts for peace in the Middle East.
The development came on the heels of Saudi Arabia’s decision to extend another financial bailout package to Pakistan, aimed at helping the country meet its external financing needs in line with International Monetary Fund (IMF) requirements.
