Pakistan: Seventh, and Eighth Reviews of the Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility, Requests for Waivers of Nonobservance of Performance Criteria, and for Extension, Augmentation, and Rephasing of Access-Press Release; Staff Report; Staff Statement; and Statement by the Executive Director for Pakistan, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2022) accessed October 12, 2024
Summary
Economic activity remained robust in FY22, fueled by loose fiscal policy and a delayed monetary response to inflationary pressures. These combined with the international food and fuel price shocks led to a marked deterioration of the external position with an unsustainable current account deficit, a significant decline in reserves, and a marked depreciation of the rupee. At the same time, inflation has increased considerably, putting pressure particularly on the more vulnerable.
