The International Monetary Fund (IMF) remains in touch with Pakistan's authorities in order to pave the way for a board meeting before a financing program expires at the end of June, the IMF mission chief for Pakistan said.
Ordinarily, a board meeting on a review of the program would require a prior staff-level agreement, which in Pakistan's case would unlock $1.1 billion in financing for the cash-strapped South Asian nation as part of a $6.5 billion IMF package.
"This engagement will focus on the restoration of foreign exchange proper market functioning, the passage of aconsistent with program goals, and adequate financing," IMF mission chief Nathan Porter said. "They have asked for some more things again, we are ready to give that too, they say that give us budget details, we will give it to them," Dar said in an interview with Geo TV.
