Pakistan receives $2bn from Saudi Arabia: SBP

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif began a four-day diplomatic tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to address economic needs and strengthen regional relations amid Middle East tensions.
Pakistan faces a $3.5 billion repayment to the United Arab Emirates this month, straining foreign exchange reserves that stood at about $16.4 billion as of March 27.
The State Bank of Pakistan confirmed on Thursday it received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, part of a total $3 billion commitment to support the balance of payments.
During his Jeddah visit, Sharif met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, expressing 'full solidarity' with the Kingdom amid regional escalation while Pakistan mediates Middle East peace efforts.
Under its $7 billion IMF program, Pakistan targets foreign exchange reserves of more than $18 billion by June, though analysts warn financing risks remain a key vulnerability amid volatile energy prices.
