IMF and Pakistan have reached a new staff-level agreement.
This agreement is part of the 37-month Extended Fund Facility and the 28-month Resilience and Sustainability Facility. Through this deal, Pakistan is likely to receive the next tranche of approximately $1.2 billion in IMF funding. The International Monetary Fund stated that Pakistan’s economy remains “on track” and that the reform process has shown improvement. However, the institution noted that the recent floods in Pakistan have created new challenges for economic growth.
IMF Qist Kay Liye Raasta Saaf: Staff-Level Agreement Tay, Faisla Ab Board Par
Karachi: Bain-ul-Aqwami Maaliyati Fund (IMF) ne kaha hai ke Pakistan ke saath Staff-Level Agreement tay pa gaya hai, jo ke 37 maheenay ke Extended Fund Facility (EFF) aur 28 maheenay ke Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) ka hissa hai.
Is moahide ke mutabiq, IMF ke Executive Board ki manzoori milte hi, 1.2 billion dollar ke qareeb agla hissa Pakistan ko milne ka imkaan hai, jo ke Pakistan ke liye ahem maashi madad sabit ho sakta hai.
Pakistan ne September 2024 mein IMF se 7 billion dollar ka bailout package hasil kiya tha taake maashi stability barqarar rakhi ja sake aur zakha-ir mein izafa ho. Yeh IMF Pakistan deal mulk ke liye aik ahem morh sabit ho rahi hai.
IMF ke mutabiq, hukoomat ne fiscal reforms aur monetary reforms ke zariye economy ko dheere dheere mazboot karna shuru kar diya hai, jo ke Pakistan Economy Update ka ek positive pehlu hai.
Idaray ne kaha ke mulk ne 14 saal baad pehli baar current account surplus hasil kiya hai, inflation kam hua hai aur external reserves behtar hue hain — yeh sab economic reforms in Pakistan ke natayij hain.
IMF mission ki sarbarah Iva Petrova ne kaha ke “Pakistan ka economic program macroeconomic stability hasil kar raha hai aur market ka aitmaad behtar hua hai.” Unka kehna tha ke hukoomat ne program targets se behtar performance di hai aur financial soorat-e-haal mein behtari aa rahi hai.
Magar unhon ne ye bhi kaha ke halya selaabon ne agriculture sector aur GDP growth dono ke liye nayi paicheedgiyan paida ki hain — jo ke aindah ke liye challenges ban sakti hain.
IMF ke bayaan mein kaha gaya ke hukoomat ne energy reforms aur climate resilience par dobara apna aitmaad zahir kiya hai. Idaray ne ye bhi kaha ke Pakistan ne RSF ke zariye green mobility, disaster-risk financing aur pani ke nizaam ko mazboot banane par taraqqi ki hai.
IMF ka kehna hai ke agar reforms ka silsila isi tarah jari raha to mulk ki economy mein mustaqbil mein mazeed behtari dekhi ja sakti hai.
