ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan is set to receive $200 million under the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

The IMF board is expected to take up Pakistan-related issues in an important meeting scheduled for Friday (today), sources said.

The development comes as discussions on climate finance advance at global financial meetings held in Washington, where participating countries and financial institutions have focused on practical steps to combat climate change.

According to sources, Pakistan presented its position on climate finance, budgetary priorities and resource allocation, highlighting the need for greater international financial support for environmental and climate-related projects.

Consultations are also underway on increasing global financial support for climate initiatives in developing countries.

Sources said the government has decided to further accelerate institutional coordination to address environmental challenges and is considering giving greater priority to climate policy within the national budget and resource allocation.
