The budget talks between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for fiscal year 2025–26 remained inconclusive on Saturday, primarily due to disagreements over proposed relief measures by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

It also dismissed the government’s plan to reduce electricity tariffs for industrial users, demanding the timely tariff hikes during the next fiscal year.
