Pakistan

Pakistan is exploring new financing avenues by planning to issue up to USD 300 mln in Panda bonds, targeting Chinese investors. This initiative marks Pakistan’s first venture into selling yuan-denominated debt, aiming at diversifying funding sources amid challenges such as Asia’s highest inflation rate of over 20% and significant external debt obligations. Meanwhile, the finance minister highlighted Pakistan’s robust cash balances and manageable debt situation, expressing confidence in avoiding debt restructuring and maintaining currency stability.
