The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has commended the economic policies of Pakistan's caretaker government, recognizing their efforts in maintaining economic stability.
The IMF highlighted that the Kakar government had implemented decisive measures for economic stability, and the interim setup will continue until the general elections scheduled for February 8. Notably, the IMF noted that the election announcement, following the dissolution of Parliament on August 9, exceeds the 90-day limit set in Pakistan's constitution.
Additionally, it was revealed that the IMF plans to send a review mission to Pakistan after the 2024 elections to continue discussions on the Standby Arrangement (SBA) program with the newly elected government. However, the IMF has not yet confirmed the schedule for the second review, with the last confirmation made in July 2023, stating that discussions on the review would occur with the new government.
