Pakistan has increased the size of its Eurobond issuance to $750 million, up from the initially planned amount, after exercising a greenshoe option, according to the country’s finance adviser.
A greenshoe option allows issuers to raise additional funds when investor demand is strong. In this case, the higher subscription levels from international investors enabled Pakistan to expand the offering beyond its original target.
This development reflects renewed investor confidence in Pakistan’s economic outlook, especially after a period of limited access to global financial markets. The successful expansion of the bond indicates that international investors are willing to re-engage with Pakistan despite challenging global conditions.
The Eurobond issuance is part of Pakistan’s broader strategy to strengthen foreign exchange reserves, stabilize the economy, and diversify funding sources. It also signals the country’s return to international capital markets after several years.

Financial experts see this move as a positive step toward improving Pakistan’s global financial standing, as it demonstrates the government’s ability to attract external financing and manage debt through market-based instruments.
Overall, the increased bond size highlights strong demand and marks an important milestone in Pakistan’s ongoing economic recovery efforts.
