Pakistan will go for an ambitious six per cent economic growth target in the next two years as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows its willingness to renegotiate tough conditions for a $6 billion loan in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases.
Newly-appointed Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin said the country will increase infrastructure spending to create jobs and boost economic activity in the country.
