<h1>Pakistan Seeks Two-Year Rescheduling of $3.4 Billion Debt from China to Address IMF-Identified Funding Gap</h1> Pakistan has requested China to reschedule a USD 3.4 billion debt for two years to address a foreign funding gap identified by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This request, the second in five months, was made by the Deputy Prime Minister during a visit to Beijing. The debt, owed to China's Export-Import Bank, is part of a broader USD 5 billion external financing plan needed for a three-year IMF program. The rescheduling is crucial for Pakistan, which also secured a USD 1.2 billion Saudi oil facility and a USD 300 million loan to bridge the financing gap.
