ISLAMABAD, Dec 4: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar informed the Senate on Wednesday that the US government had reimbursed up to October this year a total of $10.775 billion on account of war on terrorism.

The written information was placed before the house in response to a question by Karim Ahmed Khwaja of Peoples Party.

The opposition senator had asked the minister to disclose “the amount provided to Pakistan by the USA on account of war on terror under the Coalition Support Fund so far, with year-wise break-up”.

He had also sought to know the amount that Pakistan had received under the Kerry-Lugar Bill.

The minister told the house that Pakistan had received $300 million in 2001-02, $847m in 2002-03, $753.2m in 2003-04, $839.6m in 2004-05, $1.07bn in 2005-06, $1.24bn in 2006-07, $655m in 2007-08, $912.9m in 2008-09, $1.294bn in 2009-10, $743.3m in 2010-11, $1.806bn in 2012-13 and $322m till Oct 21, this year.

No amount was received in 2011-12.

He said that under the Kerry-Lugar Bergman Legislation up to $1.5bn per year could be allocated to Pakistan starting from October 2009. The actual amount obligated by the US Congress from October 2009 to June 30, 2013 was $3.947bn.

Against this, $3.827bn was disbursed up to June 30, this year, he added.
