After assuming charge as the U.S. Consul General in Karachi, Charles Goodman honored Pakistan's founding father at the Mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. On behalf of the American people, he laid a floral wreath, signed the guestbook, and toured the adjoining museum to learn more about Jinnah's life and legacy.
"Visiting Mazar-e-Quaid is an honor and a reminder of our shared ideals. Jinnah envisioned a Pakistan rooted in unity and economic prosperity. As I begin my service in Karachi, I am grateful for the warmth of the Pakistani people and optimistic about the growing partnership between our nations," CG Goodman expressed his feelings.

Historic Move: Pakistan Retires PKR 2,600 Billion Debt Before Time — A First in Pakistan's History
In an unprecedented move and a record achievement for fiscal responsibility, the Ministry of Finance (MoF), Government of Pakistan (GoP), has retired over PKR 1,600 Billion of debt owed to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) — and done so in just 59 days.
- On June 30, 2025, the Ministry early-retired PKR 500 Billion. Only two months later, on August 29, 2025, the Debt Management Office executed another monumental repayment of PKR 1,133 Billion, which brings the total early retirement of SBP debt to PKR 1,633 Billion.
- The MoF had earlier in 1H FY25 retired domestic commercial market debt of PKR 1,000 Billion — the first such advanced debt retirement operation in Pakistan’s history.
- Including both the central bank and commercial portions, the total early debt retirement in less than one year now comes to over PKR 2,600 Billion — an unprecedented scale and decisive action in the country’s fiscal history.
Strengthening Public Finances through Early Debt Retirement — Restoring Fiscal Credibility
This action marks a decisive shift from past debt-heavy practices, where reliance on borrowing crowded out fiscal space and increased risks. Now, debt discipline is firmly in action:
- 30% of SBP debt retired early: In just under two months, Pakistan cut SBP debt from PKR 5.5 Trillion to 3.8 Trillion — nearly 30% retired well before its 2029 maturity.
- Reduced risks, improved fiscal space: Early repayments eased the 2029 refinancing burden, lowered rollover risks, and created more room for development spending.
- Strengthened fiscal resilience: The average maturity of domestic debt has risen to 3.8 years from 2.7 in FY24 — the sharpest single-year improvement in history, and well ahead of the IMF target.
- Major taxpayer savings: With falling rates and disciplined, early repayments, the government has already secured over PKR +800 Billion in taxpayer savings (FY25).
A Shift from Borrowing to Responsibility
This is not just debt repayment — it is responsible, forward-looking financial governance. By reversing the old cycle of unchecked borrowing and putting repayment at the center of fiscal management, Pakistan is restoring credibility, strengthening resilience, and building a more sustainable future.

From Karachi’s Harbor to Global Trade—A Shared Vision for Growth
What if more American companies see Pakistan’s ports not just as regional shipping hubs, but as gateways to long-term opportunity?
This week, the U.S. Consulate General Karachi, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, is bringing that vision into focus. On July 15, we’re hosting a virtual conversation between U.S. businesses and Pakistan’s maritime leaders to talk about what’s ahead for the port sector—and how both sides can work together.
With over 120 American companies registered, the interest is clear. The goal: real dialogue about how U.S. expertise, and world-class American products and services, can support Pakistan’s port development, strengthen the nation’s logistics capabilities, expand trade connections, and lead to prosperity for the private sectors and citizens of both the United States and Pakistan.
This isn’t just a business briefing. It’s a chance to build the kind of partnerships that move industries—and economies—forward.

Our progress on Ease of Doing Business has been satisfactory as we closed out on 30th April 2020, as per plans. Now we wait for the report to be released in October this year, but we are hopeful that our reform efforts would yield good results this year as well. @PTVNewsOfficial
