IMF package only way to put economy back on track: Finance Minister
Minister for Finance Asad Umar has said
that an IMF bailout package is unavoidable for Pakistan, which,
according to economic experts, is the only way to put the national
economy back on track.
In an interview with PTV, he said the
government had to take the decision to approach the International
Monetary Fund because of the high current account deficit as a result of
the wrong economic policies adopted by the past government.
He said the financial bailout package is
mandatory for Pakistan in order to bridge the 12 billion dollars
financing gap being faced by the government.
Asad Umar said we have sought the package only to get relief for the time being and run the country's economic system smoothly.
He said 12 billion dollars are required
to beef up foreign exchange reserves, which is essential for the
country's economic stability. However, the government would also bring
reforms in the economic system.
Referring to his meetings with the IMF
officials in Indonesia, he said both the sides have expressed the desire
that it might be the last bailout package for Pakistan.
