The technical team of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has completed its visit to Pakistan, while the main IMF delegation is scheduled to arrive in the last week of March.
According to ARY News, the IMF experts gathered data on transparency in administrative affairs and will finalize their governance recommendations for Pakistan next month. To ensure a thorough assessment, the delegation was granted access to multiple high-level meetings, which will aid in formulating recommendations necessary for Pakistan to secure the next debt installment from the IMF.
Meanwhile, a separate IMF mission held discussions with legal representatives, including the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the Chairman of the Pakistan Bar Council’s (PBC) special committee on judicial reforms. As reported by Dawn News, the IMF’s Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment team met with SCBA President Mian Muhammad Rauf Atta and PBC Chairman Hassan Raza Pasha to discuss strategies for tackling corruption and enhancing foreign investment opportunities.
The visit marks a crucial step in Pakistan’s economic negotiations, with the upcoming March delegation expected to further assess governance measures and financial policies.
