      <title>IMF rejects India’s objection, reaffirms support for Pakistan’s loan program</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415817/imf-rejects-indias-objection-reaffirms-support-for-pakistans-loan-program</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has rejected India’s attempts to block Pakistan’s loan program and has announced full support for Pakistan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement issued on Wednesday, the IMF confirmed that the Executive Board will meet tomorrow as scheduled to review Pakistan’s loan package.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The IMF said there is no delay or change in the meeting plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The organisation also expressed hope that tensions between Pakistan and India will ease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It said it supports a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict and stressed the importance of stability and economic development in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance, the country expects approval of a $2.3 billion financing package during the meeting. This package is seen as vital for supporting the economy and restoring financial stability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The board is also expected to approve $1.3 billion under the “Resilience and Sustainability Facility” (RSF).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, this climate financing will help Pakistan manage environmental challenges. The IMF will release the funds in installments over 28 months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan and the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on March 25, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The final decision on the disbursement of funds will be made in the upcoming board meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
