Pakistan has successfully repaid $1.43 billion in external debt, including the $1.3 billion Eurobond maturing on April 8, according to Khurram Schehzad, Adviser to the Finance Minister.
“As part of its routine course of external debt management, Pakistan has repaid its $1.3bn Eurobond maturing on April 8 — on schedule and in full,” Schehzad stated in a post on X. He added that the country also met $126.125 million in coupon obligations on other Eurobond issuances, bringing total payments on Tuesday to over $1.426 billion.
“Debt servicing continues to be executed as a non-event — reflecting consistency, discipline, and strengthened capacity,” he noted. Schehzad emphasized that this seamless execution reinforces Pakistan’s credibility with global investors and financial institutions.
The repayment follows Pakistan’s plan to return $3.5 billion in debt to the UAE before the end of this month. These funds were part of external financing support extended by Abu Dhabi in 2019 to help stabilize Pakistan’s balance of payments.
The State Bank of Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves currently stand at approximately $16.4 billion, reflecting a stable liquidity position amid routine debt management operations.
This repayment demonstrates Pakistan’s commitment to maintaining financial discipline and sustaining investor confidence in its external financing practices.
