Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin sounded upbeat after talking to IMF officials to soften up their calls for stringent measures by Pakistan to fully stabilize its economy before it treads on the growth path.
He hinted that IMF has shown “flexibility” and supported his plan of action to stimulate growth without resorting to tough measures.
IMF spokesman Gerry Rice, in his press conference through video link, was not as unequivocal and forthcoming as Tarin but maintained that the international lending agency stands ready to continue to support Pakistan as to achieving debt sustainability and high and sustainable growth.
