Ishaq Dar thanks "true brother" Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan also seeks from other friendly nations.
IMF's board meeting to approve loan on July 12.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said Tuesday that Saudi Arabia deposited $2 billion in the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) days after Islamabad reached a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a $3 billion Stand-By Arrangement.
"SBP has received a deposit of $2 billion from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Dar said during a press conference, adding that this inflow has increased the forex reserves held by the central bank and will accordingly be reflected in the forex reserves for the week ending July 14.
The inflows after Islamabad signed the short-term IMF deal on June 30 under a standby arrangement that will disburse $3 billion over a nine-month period, subject to approval by the IMF's board, which is meeting on July 12.
