Abstract: Pakistan has been a regular receiver of foreign aid since its inception. It would not be misplaced to state that Pakistan is addicted to aid! Since its inception, till FY 22-23, the commitments of foreign aid have crossed the $200 billion mark. There is no single, concise estimate of how much of that committed aid has actually been credited and disbursed. Based on the estimates from various sources, brought together and counterchecked due to their various methodologies, we estimate that at least $155 billion has been credited and disbursed/used up for various purposes (development and non-development) in Pakistan. This is besides the aid that was credited but has not been documented due to various reasons.
