Incoming govts will also abide by IMF deal, says PM
Guaranteeing that the caretaker set-up, as well as the next government, will adhere to the country’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday assured international donors that funds given for flood victims will be spent judiciously. Addressing the 3rd meeting of the International Partners Support Group (IPSG), formed in the wake of the Resilient Pakistan Conference held in Geneva, earlier this year, PM Shehbaz said that Pakistan would fully follow the IMF agreement and not only the caretaker set-up but even the next government would implement the recent agreement made with the lender. Weeks before the term of the current assemblies is set to end, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif seems to be in full campaign mode. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated eight different mega projects, including gas, electricity and infrastructure schemes, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
