ISLAMABAD: The World Bank would provide Pakistan 1.7 billion dollars during current year to help overcome economic recession.

This is Bank's highest ever year-on-year support to the country and is 1.064 billion dollars more than the last year.

The financial support and technical assistance programme is focused on helping Pakistan maintain economic stability, steer the economy back onto a higher growth path and help the government put in place the systems to effectively protect the poor from economic shocks.
