Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund will continue discussions over another round of funding from a $7 billion bailout program, amid questions on how the ongoing war in Iran may impact its eastern neighbor.
“While considerable progress was made in the discussions, these will continue in the coming days, including to more fully assess the impact of recent global developments on Pakistan’s economy and the EFF-supported program,” Iva Petrova, who led the International Monetary Fund mission, said in a statement.
