They said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also approved the deal and all mattters over the bailout program have been settled.<br \/>\nFinance minister Ishaq Dar is expected to announce further details regarding the talks shortly, the sources added.<br \/>\nThe mission has been in Islamabad since Jan 31 to sort out differences over the government\u2019s fiscal policy that had stalled the release of over $1 billion from the $6.5 billion bailout package signed in 2019. The IMF funding is crucial for the $350-billion Pakistan economy facing a balance-of-payments crisis with the country\u2019s foreign exchange reserves slipping below $3 billion for the first time in nine years on Thursday, reducing import capacity to just over two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Govt finalises deal with IMF mission over $6.5 billion lending programme, unlocking critical funds for the economy news desk ISLAMABAD: The government of Pakistan on Thursday managed to finalise a deal with the visiting International Monetary Fund mission over the terms of its $6.5 billion lending programme, unlocking critical funds for the ailing economy.
