      <title>Pakistan secures funds to meet $4.75bn external repayments by June</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456497/pakistan-secures-funds-to-meet-475bn-external-repayments-by-june</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan has arranged alternative financing to meet external debt repayments totaling $4.75 billion due by June, according to media reports.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A major portion of the obligations includes $3.45 billion owed to the United Arab Emirates, to be paid in three tranches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Payments include $450 million due on April 11, $2 billion on April 17, and $1 billion on April 23.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, Pakistan’s 10-year Eurobonds worth $1.3 billion are set to mature on April 8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials said arrangements for this repayment have also been finalised, underscoring efforts to maintain credibility in international financial markets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities noted that more than $5 billion in funding assurances have been secured from friendly countries to support these repayments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves remain stable, with the State Bank holding approximately $16.4 billion, which officials consider sufficient to meet upcoming obligations without destabilising the external account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials said timely repayments would help sustain investor confidence and financial stability.&lt;/p&gt;
