NEWS DESK (MNN); The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that Pakistan’s policy measures under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) have contributed to economic stabilisation and improved investor confidence.
Speaking at a weekly press briefing, IMF Communications Director Julie Kozack stated that Pakistan’s fiscal performance remained strong, with a primary surplus of 1.3% of GDP in line with programme targets.
She noted that inflation had remained relatively contained and that Pakistan recorded its first current account surplus in 14 years during FY25.
An IMF mission led by Iva Petrova is scheduled to visit Pakistan from February 25 to conduct the third review under the $7 billion EFF and the second review under the $1.1bn Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).
Upon successful completion of the review, Pakistan is expected to receive about $1 billion under the EFF and an additional $200 million under the RSF by the end of April.
The IMF also highlighted its recent governance and corruption diagnostic report, recommending reforms in tax policy design, public procurement transparency, and asset declaration mechanisms to strengthen institutional frameworks.
