Pakistan moves to accelerate economic reforms amid IMF-backed negotiations

Pakistan’s government has intensified efforts to push forward key economic reforms as part of ongoing engagements linked to international financial support. Senior officials confirmed that priority is being given to fiscal discipline, energy sector adjustments, and revenue expansion measures to stabilize the economy. Policymakers emphasized that the reform agenda aims to restore investor confidence, manage inflationary pressures, and ensure sustainable growth in the coming months. Analysts note that while the reform push signals seriousness to global partners, it also presents domestic challenges as authorities balance economic stabilization with public concerns over cost-of-living impacts.
