巴基斯坦已接管一个由联合国支持的平台，该平台帮助发展中国家管理债务并使其诉求被听到。但巴基斯坦——这个在2023年险些违约的国家——将不会获得自身还款的自动减免。以下是一位经验丰富的巴基斯坦将带来的贡献。
Pakistan has taken charge of a UN-backed platform that helps developing countries manage debt and make their concerns heard. But Pakistan, which narrowly avoided default in 2023, will get no automatic relief from its own repayments. Here's what an experienced Pakistan would bring to the table.
巴基斯坦本身也背负着沉重的债务，已接管一个由联合国支持的论坛的主席职务，该论坛旨在让发展中国家在国际借贷中拥有更强的声音。根据巴基斯坦政府的消息，巴基斯坦财政部长穆罕默德·奥朗则布于10月12日在曼谷接受了借款人平台治理理事会主席职务。
Pakistan, itself burdened by heavy debt, has taken the chair of a UN-backed forum created to give developing countries a stronger voice on international borrowing. Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb accepted the chairmanship of the Borrowers' Platform's Governing Council in Bangkok on October 12, according to Pakistan's government.
这个经常借款的国家将负责指导债务管理合作，分享改革经验，并推进该平台2026-27年的工作计划。
The serial borrower nation would be responsible for guiding cooperation on debt management, sharing reform experiences, and advancing the platform's 2026-27 work programme.
借款人平台将借款的发展中国家聚集在一起，以交换知识、提升债务管理能力并讨论共同挑战，联合国贸易和发展会议（UNCTAD）担任其秘书处。巴基斯坦将担任其政治决策机构的主席，而一个独立的指导委员会将处理技术和运营工作。
The Borrowers' Platform brings borrowing developing countries together to exchange knowledge, improve debt-management capacity and discuss common challenges, with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), serving as its secretariat. Pakistan will chair its political decision-making body, while a separate Steering Committee would handle technical and operational work.
此次任命正值巴基斯坦继续寻求外部金融支持之际。早在10月7日，巴基斯坦与国际货币基金组织（IMF）达成了员工级别的协议，该协议可能解锁约12.1亿美元，但需待基金执行董事会批准。2023年，巴基斯坦在获得30亿美元的IMF救助后险些避免了主权违约，随后在2024年又获得了70亿美元的项目。此后，它又获得了一笔单独的13亿美元IMF气候韧性贷款。
The appointment comes as Pakistan continues to seek external financial support. As recently as October 7, Pakistan reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF that could unlock about $1.21 billion, subject to approval by the Fund's Executive Board. In 2023, Pakistan narrowly avoided a sovereign default with a $3 billion IMF bailout, before securing a $7 billion programme in 2024. It subsequently secured a separate $1.3 billion IMF climate-resilience loan.
根据巴基斯坦国家银行的数据，截至2026年3月末，巴基斯坦的外债总额及负债达到1375.5亿美元。
Its total external debt and liabilities stood at $137.55 billion at the end of March 2026, according to State Bank of Pakistan data.
那么，巴基斯坦现在所领导的这个机构到底做什么？在全球范围内，该平台回应了一种长期存在的失衡：债权人已经建立了协调机制，但借款人缺乏一个可比的永久性合作空间。至少，巴基斯坦不会缺乏经验来贡献于此。什么是借款人平台该机构的构想是在2025年7月西班牙塞维利亚的全球发展融资会议上形成的。根据联合国贸易和发展会议（UNCTAD）的说法，该平台于2026年4月15日在华盛顿正式启动。
So, what does the body that Pakistan is now leading do? Globally, the platform responds to a longstanding imbalance in which creditors have established coordination mechanisms, but borrowers have lacked a comparable permanent space for cooperation. Pakistan, at least, will not be short of experience to bring to the table. WHAT IS THE BORROWERS' PLATFORM The idea for the body took shape at a global development-financing conference in Seville, Spain, in July 2025. The platform was formally launched in Washington on April 15, 2026, according to UNCTAD.
该平台使各国政府能够相互学习借款经验，获得专家帮助，并分享债务管理信息。根据UNCTAD的说法，各国可以选择加入而无需支付会员费。
The platform lets governments learn from each other's borrowing experiences, get expert help and share information on managing debt. Countries can choose to join without paying a membership fee, according to UNCTAD.
“巴黎俱乐部已经有了70年的借款人俱乐部，”联合国贸易和发展会议债务与发展融资部门代理负责人佩内洛普·霍金斯在4月启动时对路透社表示。
"The Paris Club has got 70 years of the Borrowers' Club," Penelope Hawkins, acting head of UNCTAD's Debt and Development Finance branch, told Reuters at the April launch.
她指的是巴黎俱乐部几十年来的先发优势——巴黎俱乐部是一组向其他政府提供贷款的国家集团。巴基斯坦作为借款人平台主席将做什么在成为主席之前，巴基斯坦就已参与设立该平台。它曾是一个由埃及领导的工作组的副主席，该工作组还包括哥伦比亚、洪都拉斯、马尔代夫、尼泊尔和赞比亚。该工作组制定了平台的职能、运作方式以及谁可以加入。
She was referring to the decades-long head start of the Paris Club, a group of countries that lend money to other governments. WHAT PAKISTAN WILL DO AS HEAD OF BORROWERS' PLATFORM Pakistan helped set up the platform before becoming its chair. It was vice-chair of an Egypt-led working group that also included Colombia, Honduras, the Maldives, Nepal and Zambia. The group worked out what the platform would do, how it would run, and who could join.
根据UNCTAD的说法，成员国每年选举一名主席。财政部长、央行行长和其他高级官员通过理事会设定其优先事项，而技术工作由指导委员会负责。
According to UNCTAD, members elect a chair each year. Finance ministers, central bank governors and other senior officials set its priorities through the Governing Council, while the Steering Committee handles the technical work.
根据巴基斯坦政府10月12日的声明，巴基斯坦财政部长奥朗则布表示，伊斯兰共和国将重点放在帮助各国更好地管理债务、相互学习改革经验以及探索新的发展融资方式上。他还呼吁将计划付诸实施，并取得可衡量的成果。
Pakistan minister Aurangzeb said the Islamic Republic would focus on helping countries manage debt better, learn from each other's reforms and explore new ways to finance development, according to the government's October 12 statement. He also called for plans to be put into action and results that could be measured.
虽然这些将是巴基斯坦和借款人俱乐部的职责，但联合国贸发会议表示，该平台不会代表其成员谈判贷款条款或债务偿还。它将与现有的债务安排并行工作，因此巴基斯坦仅仅因为担任该集团主席，不会得到贷款减免或债务核销。
While these would be the duties of Pakistan and the borrower's club, the UNCTAD said the platform will not negotiate loan terms or debt repayments on behalf of its members. It will work alongside existing debt arrangements, so Pakistan will not get its loans reduced or written off simply because it chairs the group.
巴基斯坦的角色是帮助负债累累的国家分享知识，而它可能拥有丰富的知识。该平台还将提供专家支持，并放大成员国的关切。归根结底，巴基斯坦可能正在主持借款方的谈判桌，但其债权人不太可能把这个头衔误认为是还款。
Pakistan's role is to help debt-burdened countries share knowledge, something it might have plenty of. The platform will also provide expert support and amplify the concerns of member countries. The bottom line is that Pakistan might be heading the borrowers' table, but its creditors are unlikely to mistake the title for a repayment.
