According to the minister, the inflow is expected within the next few days. “We thank the Chinese government for facilitating this transaction,” he added in a tweet, while expressing gratitude to President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. 

Miftah Ismail also announced the Pakistani government might also close an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by the end of this week. All budget-related issues with the IMF have been settled as well.
