The meeting primarily touched upon Pakistan State Oil’s (PSO) running finance facility. In the previous ECC meeting on 31st July, 2022, PSO’s liquidity issues were discussed in order to arrange a government loan to ease the issue. A network of several banks was formed including MCB, UBL, ABL, NBP, and HBL for providing a loan amount of Rs. 50 billion to PSO through a government guarantee. As the issuance of guarantee will take time to process, the banks have shown their willingness to initiate the process of issuing the loan on a Letter of Comfort. 

To raise a finance facility for PSO, the ECC approved the proposal to issue a letter of comfort for raising a loan facility of Rs. 50 billion on urgent basis. 

The meeting also discussed the approval of a GoP guarantee for financing facility of US $142 million as loan in accordance with facility agreement between Roosevelt Hotel Corporation (RHC) and the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP).

Moreover, the Ministry of Industry and Production tabled a summary for revision of prices of imported urea.
