IMF Praises Pakistan's Oil Crisis Management Amid Regional Turmoil
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has commended Pakistan's handling of the oil crisis during the six months of US-Iran conflict, which had regional markets in turmoil.
According to informed sources, the IMF appreciated that Pakistan was able to manage petroleum prices without requiring additional budgetary support while maintaining uninterrupted product availability.
The Fund's assessment drew a comparison with other countries in the region, noting that some economies encountered petroleum shortages or faced additional financial burdens on their national budgets or state-owned corporations during this period.
Pakistan was able to navigate these regional pressures without either of those outcomes, as per the discussions with the IMF mission.
