Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb held meetings with IMF officials, highlighting Pakistan's improved fiscal and external balances, stronger foreign exchange reserves, and record remittances. Discussions covered tax and energy reforms, privatisation, and the country's return to international capital markets. Separately, Aurangzeb met US officials, requesting a $10 billion Exchange Stabilisation Support Facility to strengthen the national economy. Continued positive engagement with the IMF and potential US support could bolster PKR stability, potentially moderating local gold price increases.
