The Pakistan government has initiated efforts to secure maximum relief during the ongoing review talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
As per details, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed the authorities to negotiate broader concessions amid floods and heavy rains during the upcoming review talks with IMF, sources said.
According to sources, the government aims to prevent the imposition of a mini-budget by proposing alternative revenue measures. Strict enforcement of existing tax steps will be presented as a substitute to satisfy IMF concerns.
The Ministry of Finance is also preparing to convince the IMF to allow relief in light of the damages caused by recent floods.
Special focus will be on easing the burden of electricity bills for flood-affected households, as well as seeking concessions in the repayment of agricultural loans.
