Pakistan Seeks $10B US Support After Iran War Mediation
Pakistan has asked the United States for a $10 billion loan to help its economy.
This request comes after Pakistan helped with talks about the war in Iran.
The loan would help Pakistan have more money in its reserves and make its currency stronger.
Pakistan is also working on other economic projects with the US, like mining and real estate.
The loan would last up to five years and help Pakistan rely less on other loans from groups like the IMF.
Pakistan seeks a $10 billion currency support facility from the US to boost its foreign exchange reserves.
The request follows Pakistan's role in facilitating talks related to the Iran war.
The facility would help stabilize the Pakistani rupee and reduce reliance on IMF disbursements.
Pakistan has previously secured a $7 billion IMF programme and a $1.3 billion climate change loan.
The US Export-Import Bank has announced $1.2 billion in financing for the Reko Diq mining project in Pakistan.
