Pakistan's desperately low foreign exchange reserves were boosted on Tuesday with a $2 billion deposit from Saudi Arabia, ahead of a key IMF meeting this month to approve a new deal.
"Saudi Arabia had announced in the recent past that it would deposit an additional $2 billion dollars in the account of the State Bank of Pakistan -- that has been credited to the account of the State Bank," Pakistan's finance minister Ishaq Dar said in a televised press conference.
