Pakistan is preparing to repay approximately $1.3 billion in principal and interest on a maturing Eurobond in April 2026, ahead of upcoming negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under the country’s $7 billion reform programme. This repayment coincides with the IMF review mission, scheduled to start on February 26, 2026, which will assess Pakistan's fiscal reforms and progress on structural benchmarks. Officials have indicated that the programme’s performance as of end-December 2025 has mostly been satisfactory, despite a revenue shortfall of Rs336 billion, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability as the IMF review approaches.
