IMF has placed another 11 conditions before Pakistan for loan, highlight the greatest risk in India

New -Delhi, May 18 (IANS). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has set 11 new conditions before Pakistan for a $ 7 billion loan. In addition, tension with India is described as a major risk. According to the Pakistani newspaper Express Tribune, the new conditions set up close approval of a new budget of Rs 17.6 Lakh Crore, which increases the surcharge of the surcharge on electricity bills and lifted the import of importing more than three -year -old cars. In a report from the IMF released on Saturday, it is said that if the tensions between India and Pakistan increase, the neighboring treasury, foreign trade and reforms will be negatively affected. The report further said that the tensions between Pakistan and India have increased significantly over the past two weeks, but so far the market response has been modest and the stock market has retained its recent profits. The IMF estimated that Pakistan’s defense budget for the next financial year could be Rs 2,414 Lakh Crore, which is Rs 25,200 crore or 12 percent more. Compared to the IMF estimate, the government indicated to award more than Rs 2.5 Lakh Crore, reflecting an 18 percent increase to a conflict with India. The IMF has also set up a new condition to bring about the parliamentary approval of the FY 2026 budget according to the IMF staff agreement to comply with the program objectives by the end of June 2025. “The IMF has set another 11 conditions on Pakistan for a loan of only $ 7 billion, which increased the total conditions of 50,” the Express Tribune reported. The IMF said that from Pakistan’s budget of Rs 17.6 Lakh Crore only Rs 1.07 lakh crore should be spent on development, while there is a fiscal deficit of Rs 6.6 Lakh Crore. -Ians ABS/ Share This Story Tags
