ISLAMABAD – Technical talks between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are set to begin tomorrow. According to government sources, a number of new tax measures and a widening of the tax net to strengthen the economy will be discussed in these talks.
The talks will be attended by top officials of the finance ministry and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), who will brief the IMF delegation on the country’s economic strategy and revenue. The talks could be part of Pakistan’s next bailout program or a continuation of the existing financial framework.
The IMF delegation will present its proposals on key issues such as increasing revenues, improving tax collections, and reducing subsidies, while Pakistani officials will report on progress in the process of economic reforms.
