IMF’s unscheduled visit to Pakistan to bridge $2.5 billion gap

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is conducting a performance review in Pakistan next week to assess the country’s efforts in securing new foreign loans to address a $2.5 billion financing gap. The IMF aims to scrutinize Pakistan’s macroeconomic framework and evaluate its progress in obtaining loans from bilateral creditors, including a potentially delayed $1.2 billion Saudi oil facility.
