Pakistan has increased the size of its Eurobond issuance from $500 million to $750 million after receiving strong interest from international investors, signalling renewed confidence in the country’s economic outlook. The move marks a significant return to global capital markets after a gap of several years.

Officials said the initial target of $500m was revised upward due to oversubscription, reflecting robust demand despite ongoing global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. The bond, issued under the Global Medium-Term Note (GMTN) programme, carries a maturity of around three years and an interest rate close to 7%.

The successful issuance follows Pakistan’s recent repayment of a $1.4 billion Eurobond, which helped restore investor confidence in the country’s ability to meet its external obligations.

Finance officials described the development as a key milestone in rebuilding Pakistan’s presence in international financial markets and diversifying funding sources. The transaction is also expected to strengthen the country’s sovereign yield curve and provide a benchmark for future borrowing.

Analysts view the increased bond size as a positive signal, indicating improving macroeconomic stability and investor sentiment. However, they caution that sustaining this confidence will depend on continued reforms and fiscal discipline in the coming months.
