Sharif mentioned he met with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahya whereas he was on a private go to to Pakistan on Sunday.

“In a one-on-one assembly he mentioned…there’s a $2 billion greenback reimbursement due and we’re extending this,” Sharif advised reporters in a televised press convention..

“I requested for the UAE to speculate just a few billion {dollars} in key funding tasks and that may be useful,” Sharif added.

“He mentioned the UAE was dedicated to this funding and the 2 nations share brotherly ties,” he mentioned.

Pakistan’s $350 billion financial system has struggled for many years with boom-and-bust cycles, needing 23 IMF bailouts since 1958.
