Pakistan Rejects India's Attempts to Politicize IMF Program

Pakistan has strongly rejected India’s attempts to obstruct and politicize its ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) program. The rejection comes in response to India’s recent demand that the IMF review the loans granted to Pakistan, which is seen as an effort to undermine the country’s economic recovery.

Sources confirmed that Pakistan remains committed to working with the IMF to ensure sustainable economic growth and macroeconomic stability, despite India’s attempts to derail the process. The two countries have been at odds recently, following the deadly Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.

India's actions, according to Pakistani officials, reflect a disregard for international law and global institutions. Pakistan has likened India’s negative narrative regarding the IMF program to the illegal suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it a destabilizing influence in the region.

In recent developments, Pakistan successfully secured a $7 billion bailout package from the IMF last year, and in March 2025, received an additional $1.3 billion Climate Resilience Loan. These aid programs are vital for Pakistan’s $350 billion economy, helping the country avert the risk of bankruptcy and moving towards economic recovery.

Pakistan’s response to India’s interference underscores its resolve to preserve national sovereignty and international financial cooperation.
