The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has acknowledged improvement in Pakistan’s economy, noting that recent policy measures have helped stabilize key economic indicators ahead of its upcoming review mission.
The IMF announced that its delegation will visit Pakistan starting February 25 to conduct the third review under the Extended Fund Facility and the second review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility.
The visit is expected to assess Pakistan’s progress on reform commitments and macroeconomic stability.
IMF Director of Communications Julie Kozack said that policies implemented under the Extended Fund Facility have contributed to economic stabilization.
She noted that Pakistan’s fiscal performance remained strong during fiscal year 2025. According to the IMF, Pakistan achieved a primary fiscal surplus of 1.3 percent of GDP, in line with program targets.
The development reflects improved fiscal discipline and better revenue management. The IMF also highlighted that inflation remained under control during the period, supporting overall economic stability.
In addition, Pakistan recorded a current account surplus in fiscal year 2025, the first time in 14 years, signaling improvement in external balances.
The upcoming review will be a key milestone for Pakistan, as continued progress under IMF programs remains critical for maintaining investor confidence and economic recovery momentum.
