Pakistan Is Talking With IMF Over Plan to Boost Economic Growth

Pakistan is in talks with the International Monetary Fund over a plan to boost economic growth after the South Asian nation achieved stability with stringent policy measures, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said.

“Now is the right time to move toward sustainable, export-led growth,” Sharif told leading businessmen at an event in Islamabad on Friday. “I have talked to the finance minister and the central bank governor that we have to divert the capital to help the industry. The governor has to listen to business leaders and take bold decisions.”
