Pakistan’s foreign funding rises to $6.59 billion

Islamabad: Pakistan has recorded a strong rise in external financial inflows, with foreign funding increasing by around 20 percent to reach $6.59 billion during the first nine months. The improvement reflects higher support from multilateral lenders, remittances, and development financing. Officials say these inflows are helping stabilize foreign reserves and support ongoing economic reforms at a time when fiscal pressure and external debt repayments remain major challenges. Stronger external financing can improve market confidence, support currency stability, and create room for public development spending. For real estate and construction, better macroeconomic stability can influence investment sentiment, lending confidence, and long-term infrastructure planning. Can stronger foreign inflows support Pakistan’s economic recovery?
