On Monday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that it would continue to support Pakistan and would engage further “once a new government is formed” in the country. The Ministry of Finance also issued a press release stating the Finance Divison and the IMF were engaged in data sharing and reform discussions as part of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
“There is no truth to speculation about [the] suspension of [the IMF] programme. IMF has confirmed the same and also clarified that it remains committed to Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability,” the IMF press release added.
