The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that it has made “considerable progress” in talks with Pakistan over its funding facilities and that discussions will continue. “While considerable progress was made in the discussions, these will continue in the coming days, including to more fully assess the impact of recent global developments on Pakistan’s economy and the EFF-supported (Extended Fund Facility) program,” IMF advisor Iva Petrova said in the statement. The statement came after the federal government and IMF team, led by Petrova, held discussions on the third review under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the second review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) in Karachi and Islamabad, as well as virtually, from February 25 to March 11, 2026.
