Pakistan continues to demonstrate economic stability and diplomatic relevance despite ongoing regional tensions and global uncertainties. The country is strengthening its macroeconomic position while actively positioning itself as a bridge in international diplomacy.
According to Khurram Schehzad, Advisor to the Finance Minister, Pakistan has stepped up engagement with key global players, including the United States, Iran, and Gulf nations, to help ease rising geopolitical tensions.
He also highlighted progress under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, noting that the review process has remained on track and reforms have started to show tangible results.
Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves have steadily increased for 33 consecutive weeks, reaching $21.7 billion, reflecting improved financial stability. At the same time, the country has strengthened its maritime trade position, gaining broader access through the Strait of Hormuz.
In the energy sector, Pakistan has improved its fuel security by increasing its stock cover from 3.5 weeks to nearly four weeks, even as global supply disruptions continue to challenge many economies.
