Unable to indicate when IMF negotiations will close service |
ISLAMABAD: Some time cannot be given to
conclude Pakistan's talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the
Ministry of Finance and Revenue said on Friday.
This was stated by a representative of the service, who said
that at present no names could be obtained with the progress of the programs.
Meanwhile, the IMF ambassador to
Pakistan said the IMF talks on Sixth Review with Pakistan are ongoing.
The envoy added that Pakistan's efforts to complete the
talks were still under investigation.
"The
IMF is examining Pakistan's financial strategies and reforms," he added.
Later in the audit, the IMF will decide whether to release
Pakistan for $ 1 billion.
Hypotheses are being made about Pakistan's lack of
confidence in the negotiations.
Whether the Sixth Review Negotiation is fruitful, Pakistan
will face another set of conditions from the IMF.
'IMF
exchange continues'
Recently, Pakistan State Bank (SBP) Governor Reza Baqir said
Pakistan's exchanges with the IMF are progressing well.
Baqir's remarks came shortly after IMF Director for the
Middle East and Central Asia Jihad Azour said talks between Pakistan and the
IMF on the $ 6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) were progressing in a
"very positive" way.
Tarin
wants Pakistan's talks with the IMF to remain the same
On October 17, Prime Minister Shaukat Tarin's adviser said
the feeling that preparations in Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) were still blind was false.
Speaking only to Geo News, the attorney general's lawyer
said Pakistan was still negotiating an agreement with the IMF.
"In all cases, I would like to inform you as it is, and
I have done the same to explain to you why we are in danger today," he
said. "I taught you about inadequacies and how to fix them."
A press conference by the Treasury confirmed the allegations
made by the country's former leader.
"Negotiations between Pakistan and the IMF are well
underway. The Secretary of Finance is conducting negotiations in Washington DC
while special groups on both sides continue the negotiations that are being
discussed through a transparent process later trading of active information
groups," he said.
