Pakistan on Saturday received $3 billion from Saudi Arabia as part of a financial assistance sought from the Kingdom to stabilise the country’s economy, according to a senior Government official.
Saudi Arabia’s financial support comes more than one month after PM Imran Khan visited Riyadh and held talks with the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Following the talks, Saudi Arabia had agreed to provide $4.2 billion worth of assistance to Pakistan, out of which $3 billion was to be transferred as deposit in Pakistan’s central bank.
