Profit, citing official data from the Economic Affairs Division, reported that Pakistan obtained $763 million in foreign loans and grants during July 2026, compared with $694.5 million a year earlier. The increase occurred even though bilateral and multilateral inflows weakened, as receipts from Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPC) nearly doubled. Inflows through the conventional and Islamic NPC modes totalled $344 million, compared with $196.22 million previously.

Within the NPC total, the Islamic mode accounted for $246.67 million and the conventional mode for $97.32 million. Bilateral receipts dropped to $19.6 million from $118.4 million a year earlier, with France, Germany, Japan and Saudi Arabia supplying $1.3 million, $9.94 million, $0.94 million and $7.42 million respectively. Loans from China under a guarantee totalled $146 million that month.

Lenders in the multilateral group disbursed $252.83 million, below the $379.8 million recorded earlier. The World Bank was the largest single source at $130 million through IDA lending, plus $29.22 million via IBRD. The Asian Development Bank provided $59.17 million, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank $6.57 million, and the Islamic Development Bank $1.75 million plus $22.71 million of short-term financing.
