Pakistan PM discusses new loan programme with IMF chief, says statement

Pakistan’s Finance Minister, Muhammad Aurangzeb, has said Islamabad may secure a personnel- stage agreement on the novel program&nbsp, by early July.

Islamabad claims to be seeking a mortgage over at least three years to help obtain economic security and carry out long-overdue and terrible structural reforms, but Aurangzeb has declined to provide specifics about the program the nation wants to pursue.

Islamabad is yet to create a proper demand, but the Fund and the government&nbsp, are already in debate.

If secured, it would be Pakistan’s 24th IMF loan.

Near US$ 24 billion in debt and interest over the next governmental time, three times more than its main bank’s foreign currency reserves, is the US$ 350 billion economy’s serious balance of payments crisis.

Pakistan’s finance ministry expects the economy to grow by 2.6 percentage in the fiscal year ending in June, while ordinary inflation&nbsp, for the year&nbsp, is projected to remain at 24 percent, along from 29.2 percentage the past fiscal year.
