Initially due in March, this rollover is part of efforts to aid Pakistan's economy, currently facing a financial crisis. Geo News, which first broke the story, reported that Beijing had informed Islamabad of the decision, providing a temporary relief for Pakistan's financial challenges.
Last summer, Pakistan secured a $3 billion standby arrangement from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a bid to stabilize its economy. However, the country's precarious financial situation continues to demand significant external financing, a priority for the incoming government according to Fitch Ratings.
