Pakistan meets IMF bailout conditions with help from 'friendly' nations, Sharif says

(Reuters) - "Friendly" countries have helped Pakistan to meet requirements necessary to secure a bailout by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Thursday.

Islamabad had been working on implementing conditions from the IMF to complete a $7 billion, 37-month loan programme agreed in July, which Pakistan hopes will be its last.
