Wohaa!! A chance for the IMF to give a bribe and for Pakistan to give a kick back. I wonder how the quid pro quo will work. I mean, come on: Pakistan doesn't have any great vacation destinations.

I bet there will be a third-party deal, something like this:

Pakistan gets money, Pakistan makes nuke deal with some third party, maybe a 'nonproliferation treaty' (which is a scam) and then that third party has a big party for IMF heads with plenty of money, booze and girls. And the IMF can claim that the money it gave made Pakistan a safer place. Meanwhile, down the road the IMF with 'forgive' the debt because Pakistan is so good and is trying hard.

Payoff completed.

Sounds about right.
