04-Apr-2026

Pakistan will repay a $2 billion loan to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by the end of this month, a media report said on Friday. “The UAE recently asked for the immediate return of the funds in the wake of the recent situation in the Middle East following the US-Israel war on Iran,” sources told Geo News, as quoted by PTI. The loan had been provided to support Pakistan's balance of payment, and the amount was kept with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) as a safe deposit. Insiders said Pakistan has been paying around 6 per cent interest on the amount.
