IMF refuses to comment on PTI letter

On February 24, the IMF refused to comment on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s letter asking for an audit of the recently held General Elections and expressed willingness to work with the new Pakistani government.

“I’m not going to comment on ongoing political developments, so, I don’t have anything else to add to what I just said “ Julie Kozack, Director of Communications at the IMF said during a press briefing in response to a query in response to the PTI founding chairman’s decision to write a letter to the Fund to call for an audit of the February 8 election before it continues talks with Islamabad for a new loan programme.

China rolls over $2 bln debt

Earlier today, China has extended a vital lifeline to its ally by agreeing to roll over a $2 billion debt.

Sources privy to the matter said that initially, China had reportedly sought an increase in interest rates on the debt.

However, after negotiations, an agreement was reached to maintain the existing terms. Pakistan, grappling with a surge in interest costs due to its policy of maintaining foreign exchange reserves through deposits, found relief in this decision.

The debt, maturing in the week of Pakistan Day, March 23, posed a significant challenge to the country's already strained finances. The rollover of this loan is expected to ease pressure on the State Bank of Pakistan's depleting foreign reserves, currently standing at $8 billion.
