Exim Bank was awarded a Rs1.001 billion grant to facilitate the takeover of the SBP’s Rs330 billion Long-Term Financing Facility (LTFF) portfolio, a move seen as consolidating state financial power. Such financial restructuring can increase the bank's influence in a context of authoritarian state control, raising concerns about potential complicity in supporting autocratic practices.

The Economic Coordination Committee approved the phasing out of the State Bank of Pakistan’s long-term financing facility (LTFF) to Exim Bank. This move, involving a Rs330 billion portfolio and allocation of Rs1.001 billion through a Technical Supplementary Grant, signals a strategic repositioning of export-related financing that aligns the bank with government-directed fiscal policy.
