      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan is poised to receive the next tranche of its loan under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, as the Fund’s Executive Board has scheduled a meeting for December 8, sources confirmed on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the session, the IMF is expected to approve the release of $1.2 billion, including $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and an additional $200 million for climate financing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ahead of the meeting, the government will release the Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment Report, which is among the IMF’s key structural benchmarks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to sources, the Finance Ministry has resolved all technical differences related to the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The upcoming disbursement follows the staff-level agreement reached between Pakistan and the IMF on October 14, paving the way for the continuation of the loan programme and ensuring vital fiscal support amid ongoing economic challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
