ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the government will approach the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to provide a second relief package to the needy and deserving people of society during the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s time for the second (Ehsaas) package and the head of IMF realises the unique situation. I will personally talk to her,” Mr Khan said at the launch of United Nations Development Programme’s Pakistan National Human Development Report on Inequality.
“We are going to speak to IMF because we see disruptions ahead just when our economy is recovering and all the indicators are positive. Unfortunately, we will have to review the whole situation and our new Ehsaas programme because the service industry has been badly hit everywhere in the world and in Pakistan our service industry has been hit really bad,” he said.
