Sep 30, 2025 02:22 pm CST

The IMF mission led by Iva Petrova has begun a two-week review of Pakistan's $7 billion Extended Financing Facility and $1.1 billion Resilience and Sustainability Facility implementation. While power sector targets were met, revenue collection fell short by Rs 1.2 trillion, requiring corrective measures to achieve future targets. Pakistan is also pushing for implementation of the brownfield petroleum refinery policy to secure $6 billion in investment for upgrades meeting European environmental standards.
