Of this, $5 billion is currently held as deposits with the central bank, which authorities say have been rolled over until 2028. Such deposits are typically extended on an annual basis.\n\nThe support comes as Pakistan works to shore up its external position and meet upcoming debt obligations.\n\nOfficials say the government is preparing to repay about $3.5 billion owed to the United Arab Emirates, while the central bank has already repaid $1.3 billion in Eurobond maturities last week.\n\nThe latest deposit underscores continued financial backing from key regional partners as Pakistan seeks to maintain reserve adequacy and investor confidence.",
