Pakistan, IMF reach $3 billion stand-by agreement

巴基斯坦与国际货币基金组织就30亿美元备用安排达成协议

ISLAMABAD: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reached a staff-level pact with Pakistan on a $3 billion stand-by arrangement, the lender said, a decision long awaited by the South Asian nation which is teetering on the brink of default.

伊 斯兰堡：国际货币基金组织(IMF)表示，已经与巴基斯坦就30亿美元的备用安排达成了工作人员级别的协议，这是这个徘徊在违约边缘的南亚国家期待已久的决定。

The deal, subject to approval by the IMF board in July, comes after an eight-month delay and offers some respite to Pakistan, which is battling an acute balance of payments crisis and falling foreign exchange reserves.

该协议将在7月得到IMF董事会的批准。在拖延了8个月之后，该协议终于达成，为巴基斯坦提供了一些喘息之机。目前，巴基斯坦正应对严重的国际收支危机和不断下降的外汇储备。

The $3 billion funding, spread over nine months, is higher than expected for Pakistan. The country was awaiting the release of the remaining $2.5 billion from a $6.5 billion bailout package agreed in 2019, which expired on Friday.

这笔30亿美元的资金分9个月发放，高于巴基斯坦的预期。该国正在等待2019年达成的65亿美元救助计划中的剩余25亿美元的发放，该计划于周五到期。

The new stand-by arrangement builds on the 2019 programme, IMF official Nathan Porter said in a statement on Thursday, adding that Pakistan's economy had faced several challenges in recent times, including devastating floods last year and commodity price hikes following the war in Ukraine.

国际货币基金组织官员内森·波特周四在一份声明中表示，新的备用安排建立在2019年计划的基础上，并补充说，巴基斯坦经济近年来面临着几项挑战，包括去年的毁灭性洪水和乌克兰战争后的大宗商品价格上涨。

"Despite the authorities' efforts to reduce imports and the trade deficit, reserves have declined to very low levels. Liquidity conditions in the power sector also remain acute," Porter said in a statement.

“尽管当局努力减少进口和贸易逆差，但外汇储备已降至非常低的水平。电力行业的流动性状况也依然严峻，”波特在一份声明中表示。

"Given these challenges, the new arrangement would provide a policy anchor and a framework for financial support from multilateral and bilateral partners in the period ahead."

“鉴于这些挑战，新的安排将在未来一段时间为多边和双边伙伴的财政支持提供政策支柱和框架。”

现在每个巴基斯坦总理都习惯了拿着乞讨碗到处闲逛。报道称，精英已经逃离，人才也在移民。剩下的是圣战分子，他们每天看着印度媒体，感到嫉妒，但拒绝工作。

巴基斯坦政府现在觉得，让世界正常养活他们的公民是他们的神圣权利。

巴基斯坦总是能从国际货币基金组织获得贷款，因为它必须制造反世界的恐怖分子，它的主人美国和英国再次证明了这一点，他们不能让巴基斯坦完全落入中国手中。

无论如何，巴基斯坦的经济状况不会改变，越来越多的公民将成为恐怖分子。

$3 billion divided by Pakistani population is 3737 Pakistani rupees per head. Enough to buy 10 days of naan and chicken for bhikharis.  But they won't get that too as Government will give this money to terrorists to buy dry fruits for Indian tour.

30亿美元除以巴基斯坦人口，每人3737巴基斯坦卢比，足够给比哈尔邦人买10天的印度烤饼和鸡肉。但他们也拿不到，因为政府会把这笔钱给恐怖分子，让他们去印度游，买干果。
