Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and his economic team are scheduled to negotiate important policy this week in Washington, D.C., as part of the next round of economic review talks between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Sources say that if the talks go well, a staff-level agreement is anticipated, opening the door for the next $1.2 billion tranche to be released under the current IMF loan program.
The forthcoming assessment will coincide with the IMF and World Bank’s annual meetings, which are set for October 13–18 in Washington.
The governor of the State Bank and the finance secretary were among the members of Pakistan’s delegation that visited.
