Pakistan to receive one of the biggest loan tranche worth $3.28 billions
ISLAMABAD, APR 05 (DNA) – Pakistan is all set to receive one of the biggest loan tranche from the International Islamic Trade Finance Corp.
The International Islamic Trade Finance Corp has agreed to lend Pakistan $3.285 billion, its chief executive said on Thursday.
“We will supply Pakistan with $3 billion to finance trade activities for a period of three years,” Hani Salam Sonbol said, adding that the remaining $285 million would be to finance gasoline purchases.
Jeddah-based International Islamic Trade Finance Corp is the financing arm of the Islamic Development Bank for trade activities. It gave Islamic countries trade financing worth $40 billion in the past 10 years.
“We will increase our funds to support trade activities and create job opportunities in the next 10 years”, Sonbol told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference in Tunis, without elaborating.
This week the International Islamic Trade Finance Corp agreed a $1.5 billion financing deal with Tunisia to purchase essential commodities for public companies.
