The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has set 11 new conditions for Pakistan as part of its ongoing financial program, bringing the total has imposed number of conditions to 55.
According to the IMF’s latest review report, the new conditions aimed to strengthen budget discipline, improve the tax system, and boost the overall economy.
The report outlined that gas tariffs will be adjusted in July 2026 and February 2027, while electricity rates will be revised in January 2027. Another key requirement involves enhancing the independence and transparency of Pakistan’s National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
While Pakistan has successfully met most of its financial targets, the IMF noted that some tax reforms and objectives remain incomplete. The report also highlighted uncertainties in the country’s economic trajectory, warning that the ongoing conflict in Iran could exacerbate inflationary pressures and impact economic growth and payments.
