Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced discussions with the IMF regarding a $7 billion bailout reform agenda, emphasizing that no new taxes will be imposed. The talks, which are unusual so soon after the IMF's approval of the bailout, focused on reforms in taxation, the energy sector, privatization of loss-making state-owned enterprises, and public finance. The first review of these reforms is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced that the government will not impose additional taxes through a mini-budget for the current fiscal year, as it is on track to meet its tax collection target. The goal is to achieve 13 trillion rupees ($47 billion) by June.
Pakistan has requested an additional 10 billion yuan (USD 1.4 billion) loan from China, having already utilized the existing 30 billion yuan (USD 4.3 billion) trade facility. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb sought to raise the currency swap agreement limit to 40 billion yuan during discussions with China's Vice Minister of Finance, Liao Min. This request marks another attempt to increase the debt limit, which has been declined by Beijing in the past.
Pakistan's finance minister reported encouraging discussions with China regarding the extension of debt maturities linked to the Belt and Road Initiative. This move aims to alleviate financial pressure on the country, which has seen electricity prices triple in recent years, surpassing some household rents.
