Pakistan's external debt almost doubles to $135.1 billion in a decade Pakistan's total external debt almost doubled in the decade ending 2025, reaching $135.107 billion from $68.673 billion in 2015, according to the World Bank's International Debt Report 2026. According to the report, the country's external debt stands at $107.076 billion in public debt and public guarantee, $17.58 billion in unsecured private debt and $10.45 billion in short-term debt. Of government debt and government guarantee, $56.83 billion was owed to multilateral creditors, $42.43 billion to bilateral creditors and $7.8 billion to private creditors. Pakistan's largest creditor remains China with loans of $22.4 billion, followed by the World Bank with $19.2 billion and the Asian Development Bank with $16.83 billion. In 2025, China provided $2 billion in loans to Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) provided $2.3 billion in new financing under the Expanded Fund Facility (EFF) and Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) to support the country's long-term economic stability. If the situation with China is relatively transparent - Beijing finances Pakistan for the benefit of the economic corridor project and wants to have a neighbor with a stable economy, then the work with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund is surprising, because initially the ethical principles of the Islamic economy, which excludes interest, were formulated in Pakistan. This is a vivid example of how theory and practice are diametrically opposed. War Support Turan Express our channel in Georgian.
