The International Monetary Fund has called on Pakistan to accelerate structural reforms, including privatizing state-owned enterprises and improving financial management, to strengthen economic growth and boost exports. Pakistan has made notable progress under the Fund's loan program, with recent privatization of its national airline and achievement of a current account surplus for the first time in 14 years. IMF officials praised the government's commitment to reforms despite challenges such as devastating floods and emphasized the importance of continued efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability. Globally, the Fund highlighted resilience in emerging markets but warned of potential risks from technological shifts and geopolitical tensions, urging policymakers to remain vigilant.
