Pakistan has secured a new financial package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), including a 7 billion Extended Fund Facility and 1.4 billion from the Resilience and Sustainability Fund.

The reliance on IMF programs highlights the need for long-delayed reforms to achieve sustainable economic recovery.
