Pakistan has dismissed India’s request to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to review Islamabad’s financial support program and called it a politically motivated feature in the midst of increased regional tensions after the April 22 attack in Pahagam, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
An adviser to Pakistan’s Finance Ministry confirmed on Friday that the country’s IMF Bailout of $ 7 billion, secured last year, remains “good on track” and critical of macroeconomic stability.
Islamabad also received an additional $ 1.3 billion in climate abuse financing in March 2025.
“This program not only stabilizes Pakistan – it’s built confidence,” said Finance Advisor Khurram Schehzad. “The latest IMF review went smoothly, and our meetings with global financial institutions in Washington reflected high investor interest.”
India’s steps to press the IMF come as the two nuclear armed neighbors impose mutual suspensions on treaties, diplomatic exchanges and access to airspace, elaborate hostilities after New Delhi accused Pakistan of the Pahaldam attack without presenting evidence.
Islamabad has strongly rejected the accusations and called for an independent international investigation.
Officials claim that India’s attempt to involve the IMF is an extension of its political campaign to isolate Pakistan Pakistan diplomatically.
Neither India’s Finance Ministry nor the IMF have publicly responded to Pakistan’s concerns.
Standoff has triggered the global alarm in which US Vice President JD Vance called on both countries to avoid military escalation and cooperation to tackle terrorism.
Pakistan claims his commitment to terrorism is long -term and globally recognized.
Airspace closures, the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and Tit-For-Tat Diplomatic Expulsions have further strained the fragile regional balance.
