China has rolled over $3.4 billion in loans to Pakistan, two senior Pakistani government officials told Reuters<\/em> on Sunday, in a move that will help boost Islamabad\u2019s foreign exchange reserves, a requirement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).<\/p>\n

Beijing rolled over $2.1bn, which has been in Pakistan\u2019s central bank\u2019s reserves for the last three years, and refinanced another $1.3bn commercial loan, which Islamabad had paid back two months ago, the sources said.<\/p>\n

The officials asked not to be named as they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly ahead of an official announcement.<\/p>\n

Another $1bn from Middle Eastern commercial banks and $500 million from multilateral financing have also been received, one of the officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis brings our reserves in line with the IMF target,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The loans, especially those from China, are critical to shoring up Pakistan\u2019s low foreign reserves, which the IMF required<\/a> to be over $14bn at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.<\/p>\n

Pakistani authorities say that the country\u2019s economy has stabilised through ongoing reforms under a $7bn IMF bailout.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
