The breakdown shows that $26bn is due as principal repayments, while $3.70bn will be paid in interest payments.
The maturity schedule indicates:
- $785 million is due within one month
- $4.56bn will mature within one to three months
- The remaining $24.58bn is set for repayment over the next 3-12 months
Additionally, Pakistan holds short positions worth $2.92bn in forwards and futures contracts, further adding to external repayment pressures. Mettis Global reported this breaking news today.
