Pakistan heavily relies on financial aid from several countries, including China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. These nations, along with the IMF, provide regular loans and rollovers to the cash-strapped nation. Pakistan’s Prime Minister referred to his meeting with the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Paris in 2023. The rare confession came during his address to top Pakistani exporters in Islamabad on Friday. The country’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, also made a rare confession during his address.
