He further said, "The talks with the IMF have been completed. The MEFP (Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies) document has been handed over to Pakistan by the IMF."

The country's state television channel quoted Finance Ministry officials as saying that some points still needed attention. At present, the economy of Pakistan is in serious trouble. At the same time, the inflation rate in the country is skyrocketing.

 

Explain that during the talks, both sides discussed all aspects of Pakistan's ailing economy. During this, the IMF put forward tough conditions for the package, which include increasing electricity and gas prices, increasing tax rates, and bridging the gap in the budget deficit.
