Pakistan has repaid its $500 million International Bond, commonly known as Eurobond, fulfilling its financial commitments as scheduled.

An official report said today that the bond, issued in 2015 with a maturity period of ten years, reached its due date on September 30, marking a significant milestone in Pakistan’s fiscal management.

The Ministry of Finance, in an official statement, emphasized that this timely repayment underscores the nation”s dedication to adhering to its debt obligations, showcasing a notable commitment to maintaining financial discipline. The successful servicing of this debt occurs as Pakistan witnesses an improvement in its external financial position, with enhanced liquidity reserves and upgraded sovereign credit ratings.

Investor sentiment appears to be on the upswing, as evidenced by Pakistan”s bonds recently trading at a premium. This positive trend illustrates growing confidence in the country”s economic prospects and fiscal policies.

Furthermore, the Ministry highlighted a significant reduction in the share of external debt within the total public debt portfolio. From 38% in the previous fiscal year, it has decreased to 32% in the Financial Year 2025. This decline contributes to mitigating risks associated with foreign exchange vulnerabilities, marking progress in Pakistan”s financial resilience.

The successful repayment and the evolving fiscal landscape reflect a broader narrative of economic recovery and stability, offering a glimpse into the country”s future financial trajectory as it navigates through global economic challenges.
