IMF to Assess Governance and Corruption Risks in Pakistan

The IMF will send a mission to Pakistan on Feb 12 to assess governance and corruption risks in the countrys financial system. This review is part of Pakistans ongoing $3 billion bailout program. The Finance Ministry confirmed the visit, which aligns with the IMFs broader focus on governance reforms. The assessment follows Pakistans recent approval of a $700 million loan tranche. The findings could impact future negotiations, especially as Pakistan prepares for potential talks on a new bailout package.
