An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission will arrive in Pakistan tomorrow (Wednesday) to conduct the second round of review, as the government seeks to receive the next $1 billion tranche under the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
According to finance ministry officials, the IMF delegation will remain in Pakistan for nearly 14 days.
The review will cover the period from January to June 2025, with Pakistan expected to share detailed economic data during the technical discussions.
Officials said Pakistan has already met most of the agreed targets.
The negotiations will begin at the technical level, followed by policy-level talks led by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb.
Performance for the first quarter of the current fiscal year will also come under review.
If the discussions conclude successfully, Pakistan is expected to secure a $1 billion tranche.
Since September 2024, the country has already received $2.1 billion under the programme.
The IMF team will also review Pakistan’s climate change initiatives, with officials noting that climate financing under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) — worth $1.4 billion already approved — remains tied to performance under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
