The market seemingly stabled for the law few days now as on the economic front the Pakistan government, in a key development, has sought support from the Bank of China to bring back macroeconomic stability. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had briefed the president of the Bank of China, Liu Jin, about the country’s financial and fiscal conditions.

Moreover, Pakistan said it had received $500 million from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). “The funds are deposited with the SBP and will augment our reserves,” the finance minister said.

Pakistan is facing a cash crunch and its foreign exchange reserves held by the State Bank have declined to under $8 billion, while the country is scheduled to make a $1.08 billion bond repayment, which matures on December 5.
