The International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded mission talks with Pakistan on Wednesday, securing a commitment to a 2% primary surplus target by fiscal year 2027. The discussions follow the IMF's recent approval of $1.32 billion in fresh funding under an existing $7 billion program. Sustained fiscal discipline is required to anchor inflation and manage the economic impact of Middle East supply disruptions.
