ISLAMABAD: Pakistan got $ 1 billion loan from all-weather friend, China, State Bank of Pakistan sources reported Friday. Sources said soft code had been received by Pakistan for transfer of tranche of $ 1 billion. Amount was received in SBP account from China tonight.
It is pertinent to mention here that cash-strapped Pakistan has been reeling from acute shortages of forex reserves. $ 1 billion commercial loan extended by China will certainly help Pakistan face challenge. Rupee will slightly gain value and issue of ever rising inflation will ease to some extent.
