Pakistan’s external loans and grants rose to about $11 billion during July-April FY2025-26, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs data.
The inflows marked a sharp increase from the same period last year. The ministry linked the rise to bilateral support, multilateral financing, deferred payment facilities and rollovers of existing deposits.
The data showed $8.31 billion in non-project financing and $2.7566 billion in project financing during the first 10 months of the fiscal year.
Pakistan also received $120 million in grants during the period. That compares with $570 million in grants recorded in the corresponding period last year, according to the ministry.
April 2026 accounted for a major share of the inflows. The ministry said Pakistan received about $4.5 billion in external financing during the month.
