The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Nathan Porter, will visit Pakistan from November 11 to 15.
During its visit, the mission will evaluate Pakistan’s progress on the $7 billion loan approved in September, which included a first tranche of Special Drawing Rights (SDR) 760 million, equivalent to $1.03 billion, received that same month.
The mission will review Pakistan’s performance for July to September and give an update on targets set for October to December 2024.
Although initial evaluations under this program were planned for every six months, this early assessment highlights the challenges Pakistan faces in achieving its revenue collection and provincial cash surplus targets.
