A staff-level agreement(SL) was reached between the IMF and Pakistan for the first review( USD 1 billion) under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) totaling USD 7 billion, and a new arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) of USD 1.3 billion. Pending Executive Board approval, this is expected to strengthen external financing and support climate resilience and p0licy continuity.
Recently, Pakistan's Long-Term Foreign-Cu rency Issuer Default Rating(IDR) was upgraded 1rom 'CCC+' to 'B-'with a "Stable" Outlook by Fitch Ratings, reflecting improved fiscal discipline, external stability, and structural reforms. This upgrade is anticipated to pave the way for Pakistan's accessto international capital markets and contribute towards building invest0r confidence.

This level of rates should stimulate economic activir/ while keeping inflation in checL CPI inflatiDn continued its downward trend in Marth 2025, supported by declining f0Dd and energy prices. Inf(ati0n dr0pped to a six-decade low of 0.7^é YoY in March 2025, a sigrificart decline from 20.68^4 in March 2024.

On the fiscal side. tax collection during 9M FY25 reached PKR 8,464 billion, faI1ing short of the PKR 9,167 billion target by PKR 703 billion. This shortfall reflects challenges in tax compliance and the sluggish pace cf economic recovery.
