Haal hi mein Pakistan ne IMF ke tamam maqasid haasil kiye hain aur woh zaroori raqam hasil karne ki koshish kar raha hai. IMF ki mashwirat ke mutabiq, Pakistan ne economic reforms ke teht bijli, gas aur dosre tariffs mein izafah kiya hai.
Yeh development Pakistan ki maali manzil ke liye ahmiyat rakhti hai, kyun ke agle tranche ki di gayi raqam Pakistan ko mohtaaj maali madad farahum kar sakti hai. Aane wale board meeting ke nateejay se Pakistan aur IMF ke darmiyan chal rahe maali taawun ka raasta wazeh ho jayega.
