(MENAFN) It’s estimated that Pakistan will receive up to USD15 billion bailout from Saudi Arabia, reported Arabian Business.

This bailout’s aim is to help Pakistan’s energy sector.

The Gulf state would supply the country with crude and furnace oil and receive several divided payments in order to help it with its debt situation.
