ISLAMABAD: The IMF mission, led by Pakistan Mission Chief Nathan Porter, will arrive Pakistan today for a five-day official visit to assess the country’s progress on its $7 billion bailout package.
The delegation will focus on Pakistan’s performance in meeting the approximately 40 conditions tied to the loan.
According to the Finance Ministry sources, the IMF team will be briefed on Pakistan’s economic performance for the first quarter of the current financial year during the visit.
However, the mission will not be reviewing the first review of the Expanded Fund Facility program during this visit. The first economic evaluation of the current program is scheduled for March 2025.
The IMF delegation is also expected to discuss the economic damages caused by climate change and the Islamabad plans to request again for $1 billion in climate financing.
Moreover, the delegation will review legislation related to the taxation of agricultural income and examine external financing targets, including FBR revenue.
