Govt Urged to Renegotiate IMF Terms on EPZ/SEZ Phase-Out

A Senate subcommittee has urged the government to renegotiate the IMF's Extended Fund Facility conditionality to phase out EPZs and SEZs by 2035, aiming for a uniform tax regime. The committee emphasized protecting Pakistan's industrial and investment interests from potential closures. This directive reflects ongoing efforts to balance international commitments with domestic economic growth. While crucial for long-term policy, the immediate market impact on USD/PKR or gold prices is expected to be minimal.
