IMF Says Making Progress on Pakistan Review, New Climate Loan
The head of the International Monetary Fund’s mission to Pakistan said the lender and the government have made progress toward releasing the next $1 billion tranche under its current program as well as agreeing to a new loan for climate-related action.
“Program implementation has been strong, and the discussions have made considerable progress in several areas,” the mission chief, Nathan Porter, said in a statement Saturday after his team visited Islamad and Karachi from Feb. 24 to March 14.
