What is International Monetary Fund (IMF)?
The IMF was established in 1944 at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA.

The IMF is based in Washington D.C., United States. It is a unique organization, with both an intergovernmental structure and a strong institutional framework that gives it independence from governments. It is owned by its 189 member countries
which makes it neither a world government nor an intergovernmental organization
and works closely with other international organizations such as the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the United Nations (UN).

Pakistan Imf Loan History
Pakistan has received two IMF loans in the past, totaling $6.7 billion, in December 1991 and February 2000. The conclusion of the first loan was announced on December 5, 1991, when Under Secretary Lawrence H. Summers of the U.S. Treasury and IMF Managing Director Michel Camdessus signed an agreement for a stand-by credit to Pakistan over a three-year period (from 1991 to 1994). Pakistan received $3.9 billion under that agreement, with disbursements being made between December 1991 and September 1994. With this credit, Pakistan was able to stabilize its economy and make a successful transition from a fixed exchange rate regime to an open market one.
The second loan (Stand-By Arrangement) worth $2 billion was approved by the Executive Board on February 24, 2000, for three years with disbursements beginning in April 2000. The second three-year arrangement was extended for another year by the Executive Board on January 20, 2002, at its meeting. This is a Stand-By Arrangement that has been renewed once and it will be automatically renewed every year until 2020 when they are expected to reach their maturity date of 2021.
