Islamabad May 11 2023: IMF remains engaged with Pakistan on securing funding and policy assurances with the goal of reaching an agreement on the ninth review of the $6.7 billion loan agreed in 2019, IMF spokesperson said in an emailed response to Bloomberg questions.
However, Fund declines to comment on arrest of former Prime Ministerv Imran Khan.
IMF sees no indication Pakistan wants to pause negotiations on disbursement from the current program and IMF said Pakistan authorities have committed not to introduce fuel cross-subsidy scheme in F23 and beyond.
IMF data shows loan has about $2.6 billion remaining to disburse, with the program expiring at the end of June.
