Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Julie Kozek expressed her anticipation for constructive collaboration with Pakistan's new government to ensure macroeconomic stability in the country.

In a recent media briefing, Kozek refrained from delving into the intricacies of Pakistan's current political landscape but highlighted the pivotal approval by the IMF Executive Board on January 11.

This approval marked a significant milestone as it unlocked $1.9 billion under the standby arrangement to support Pakistan's economic endeavors.

Stressing the international money lender's commitment to safeguarding vulnerable sectors, Kozek underscored the program's dual focus on economic stabilization and protecting those most susceptible to financial shocks.

During the interim caretaker government period, Kozek commended Pakistani authorities for their steadfast efforts in maintaining economic stability. Notably, measures were taken to curb inflation and bolster the exchange rate through stringent monetary policies.
