Pakistan’s Eurobond payment for 2025 was completed on time as the country repaid $500 million against the 10-year Eurobond issued in 2015. According to Finance Adviser Khurram Shehzad, this repayment reflects Pakistan’s financial discipline and stable economic management.
Khurram Shehzad said the timely Pakistan external debt repayment has improved domestic reserves and liquidity. He added that international institutions have upgraded Pakistan’s sovereign rating to 2025, which is supporting investor confidence. Pakistan’s bonds are currently trading at a premium in global markets.
The finance adviser pointed out that the debt-to-GDP ratio in Pakistan has fallen to 70% as compared to 77%. In the meantime, the external debt to total public debt ratio has decreased, and the ratio is now lower, at 32%. The rate of increase in debt decreased in fiscal year 2025, and the decreased cost of global borrowing is likely to provide more relief to Pakistan.
According to the ministry of finance, the timely payment of the Pakistan Eurobond 2025 has convinced the world that the country will not default on its external debt payments in spite of the current economic struggles.
