Pakistan rejected India’s request to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to examine Islamabad’s financial support program, qualifying it as a political motivation move in the middle of increased regional tensions after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir in Indian (IIOJK).
An advisor to the Ministry of Finance of Pakistan confirmed on Friday that the bailout of the IMF of $ 7 billion in the country, obtained last year, remains “well on the right track” and critic for macroeconomic stability.
Islamabad also received $ 1.3 billion in climate resilience funding in March 2025.
“This program is not content to stabilize Pakistan – his confidence in strengthening,” said financial advisor Khurram Schehzad. “The latest IMF review went well, and our meetings with the global financial institutions in Washington reflected the high interests of investors.”
India’s decision to put pressure on the IMF when the two nuclear neighbors impose reciprocal suspensions on treaties, diplomatic exchanges and access to airspace, deepening hostilities after New Delhi blamed Pakistan for Pahalgam’s attack without presenting proofs.
Islamabad firmly rejected the accusations and called for an impartial international investigation.
The officials argue that India’s attempt to involve the IMF is an extension of its political campaign to isolate Pakistan diplomatically.
Neither the Ministry of Finance of India nor the IMF publicly responded to the concerns of Pakistan.
The confrontation sparked a global alarm, the American vice-president JD Vance urging the two countries to avoid military climbing and to cooperate in the treatment of terrorism.
Pakistan argues that its commitment to counter-terrorism is for a long time and worldwide.
The airspace closings, the suspension of the Indus water Treaty and the diplomatic expulsion of Tit-For-Tat have still stretched the fragile regional balance.
