India will be asking global multilateral agencies, including the IMF, to have a relook at funds and loans provided to Pakistan, as New Delhi seeks to corner the neighbouring state diplomatically following the dastardly terror attack in Pahalgam last month which killed 26 tourists.

"We will be asking all multilateral agencies to review the loans and support to Pakistan," a government source said.

The IMF Executive Board is scheduled to meet Pakistan officials on May 9 for first review of the extended funding facility, and request for an arrangement under the resilience and sustainability facility.

The IMF Board will evaluate fresh $1.3 billion arrangement for Pakistan under its climate resilience loan programme. It will also assess an ongoing $7 billion bailout package.

As of December 2024, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has committed 764 public sector loans, grants, and technical assistance totalling $43.4 billion to Pakistan. ADB's current sovereign portfolio in Pakistan includes 53 loans and THREthree grants worth $9.13 billion.

ADB committed a $320 million loan for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Rural Roads Development Project to upgrade around 900 kilometers of flood-susceptible rural roads in the province.

In January 2025, the World Bank approved a $20 billion lending package for Pakistan for the cash-strapped country to overcome its challenges.
