Pakistan to Spend $36 Million to Recover PIA’s Roosevelt Hotel in New York

Pakistan is considering a second bailout package worth $35.58 million for the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, New York, which is owned by Pakistan International Airlines Investment Limited (PIAIL), a subsidiary of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of Pakistan has decided to set up a panel to provide the bailout package for the property that has fallen into debt.

It had approved a loan of $142 million from the National Bank of Pakistan with a per year mark-up of $5.9 million to furnish the immediate financial needs of the hotel in September 2020, followed by an additional $13 million as a yearly carrying cost until a lease agreement with a joint venture partner would be finalized.

In 2019, PIAIL risked losing the Manhattan property and the Scribe Hotel in Paris following the enforcement of an international arbitration decision by the British Islands that would have resulted in the handing over these properties as a settlement to the Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) for the canceling of its mining license in Balochistan.
