Islamabad: Pakistan has successfully fulfilled its financial obligation by repaying a $500 million Eurobond, which matured on 30th September. The repayment marks a significant milestone in the nation’s financial management, reflecting its adherence to international monetary commitments.

The Eurobond, issued in 2015 with a ten-year maturity period, was targeted at global investors. The successful repayment underscores Pakistan’s dedication to maintaining financial discipline, as emphasized in a press release from the finance ministry. The statement highlighted that timely debt servicing remains a routine practice for the country.

The finance ministry further elaborated that this achievement comes during a period of bolstered external reserves and liquidity. Additionally, Pakistan has experienced an upgrade in its sovereign ratings, and investor confidence is on the rise, evidenced by the country’s bonds trading at a premium recently.

Moreover, the ministry noted a positive shift in Pakistan’s debt composition. The proportion of external debt within the total public debt has decreased from 38% to 32% in the Financial Year 2025, which contributes to reducing exposure to foreign exchange risks.
