Repayment

By Keshav Sharma , 10 April 2026

Pakistan has dismissed social media claims surrounding the repayment of financial deposits to the United Arab Emirates, calling such narratives misleading and inaccurate. Officials clarified that the repayment of approximately Rs. 25,000 crore (USD 3 billion) is part of pre-agreed bilateral commercial arrangements rather than a sign of financial distress. The deposits, placed with the State Bank of Pakistan, were intended to support external balances under broader economic frameworks.
