The International Monetary Fund (IMF), a global lender, is putting pressure on Pakistan for budgetary restraint and revenue recovery measures as technical-level negotiations between the two organizations enter a crucial stage.
The first round of discussions is over, and the second round is still going on.
The IMF has stated unequivocally that income gaps are unacceptable and has pushed the government to reduce spending through “right-sizing” measures.
The lender has also requested the recovery of money that are stalled in audit proceedings.
