In a significant financial development, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has agreed to extend the rollover period of a $2 billion loan to Pakistan by two months, now set to expire on April 17, 2026. This decision comes as a relief to Pakistan, which had initially requested a two-year rollover. According to 'Pakistan News Index', the UAE had previously extended the loan by one month, which was due to expire on February 16 and 22, 2026. The extension aims to facilitate Pakistan's ongoing economic review with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as highlighted by 'Aaj TV Latest', which noted that the extension was agreed upon at a 6.5% interest rate. This move is seen as crucial for Pakistan's financial stability, especially with the IMF negotiations underway.
