Finance Minister's advisor Khurram Schehzad said this is a big step for Pakistan. He said the country is working hard to improve the economy by fixing the tax system, making prices stable, improving the energy sector, and preparing for climate changes. The IMF also said that Pakistan has made good progress in the last 18 months. The country’s economy is more stable, inflation is lower than before, and financial markets are doing better. However, the IMF also warned that Pakistan still faces risks. If the government makes wrong decisions or if global prices go up, it could hurt the economy again.

The IMF also said that Pakistan must be ready for climate problems, as they can harm the economy. The country needs to manage its money wisely, keep prices under control, and make fair policies to help businesses grow.

IMF officials visited Islamabad and Karachi, where they met with government officers, business leaders, and others. They thanked Pakistan for the discussions and the welcome they received.

This agreement is a big step for Pakistan’s economy. It will help the country get more support from international financial groups and deal with its economic problems better.
