Pakistan facing "exceptionally high" economic risks, external debt to mount: IMF

India Today  

An assessment from the International Monetary Fund has said that Pakistan's economic challenges were complex and multifaceted and risks were exceptionally high, The Dawn reported. “Resolving Pakistan's structural challenges, including long-term BOP pressures, will require continued adjustment and creditor support beyond the current programme period,” the Fund said in a report. “A possible successor arrangement could help anchor the policy adjustment needed to restore Pakistan's medium-term viability and capacity to repay,” the report said. Meanwhile, cash-strapped Pakistan has received a rollover of an additional USD 600 million loan from its all-weather ally China to help shore up the country's foreign exchange reserves on the back of an IMF deal, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday.
