ISLAMABAD, Sep 18: The Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) has confirmed the rollover of $3 billion deposit maturing on December 05, 2022 for one year.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said on its official twitter handle on Sunday that the deposit is placed with SBP and is part of its forex reserves. “This reflects continuing strong and special relationship between KSA and Pakistan,” the SBP added.
