(Reuters) -The IMF expects the next funding review for Pakistan in the second half of 2025 and said it would continue discussions with Pakistan authorities towards agreeing over terms of the budget for the 2026 financial year, it said in a statement on Friday.
The IMF's priority remains anchoring inflation within the central bank's medium-term target range of 5–7 percent, the statement said, adding that the Pakistani authorities reaffirmed their commitment to fiscal consolidation while aiming for a primary surplus of 1.6 percent of GDP in FY2026.
