Pakistan and the IMF had signed the $6 billion deal in July 2019 but the programme was derailed in January 2020 and restored briefly in March this year before again going off the track in June
Cash-strapped Pakistan is set to resume talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) next week for the revival of a $6 billion loan package, according to a media report on October 3.
The five-day round of technical discussions will virtually begin on October 4, with the IMF team joining from Doha, Qatar, The Express Tribune reported.
The successful conclusion of the talks would facilitate immediate disbursement of $1 billion by the IMF.
