“The extension of the term of the deposit is a continuation of the support provided by the kingdom to Pakistan, which will help to maintain the foreign currency reserves of Pakistan and contribute to the economic growth of the country,” the SBP stated.

 

As reported, the extension in the deposit term would help solidify the ongoing IMF programme as the IMF was seeking confirmation from lenders and friendly countries of their commitments to Pakistan.
