Riyadh: In a significant move to bolster Pakistan’s economic resilience, Saudi Arabia announced an $8 billion support package on Thursday. The initiative follows directives from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the assistance includes extending the term of a current $5 billion deposit at the State Bank of Pakistan and providing an additional $3 billion deposit. This financial injection is designed to help Pakistan navigate evolving global economic challenges and stabilize its fiscal position.

The Kingdom’s leadership emphasized that this support reflects the deep-rooted ties and "bonds of brotherhood" between the two countries. By fostering sustainable economic growth, the package is expected to have a positive impact on the living conditions and overall welfare of the Pakistani people.
