ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Apr, 2026) Following the successful return to international capital markets after four years, Pakistan has upsized its Eurobond issuance to $750 million, with an additional $250 million placed with global institutional investors through the exercise of the greenshoe option, Advisor to Finance Minister, Khurram Schehzad said here Monday.

The upsizing reflects stronger-than-expected investor demand, reinforcing confidence in Pakistan’s economic outlook and market re-entry, the advisor posted on X.

He said, the 3-year Eurobond, initially placed at $500 million, attracted significant global interest and enabled the government to broaden investor participation.

The issuance signals strong investor demand and sustained appetite, reflecting growing interest from global markets. The successful execution of the greenshoe option further underscored the depth of investor participation in the offering.

The transaction has also contributed to enhancing the depth and liquidity of Pakistan’s sovereign yield curve, while reinforcing the country’s re-engagement with international capital markets.

Driven by incremental investor demand, the upsizing enhances Pakistan’s presence in global capital markets - reinforcing confidence in the country’s economic outlook and market re-entry, while building momentum for future issuances under the GMTN Programme.
