Our delegation has been very helpful and constructive with the IMF team over the past week. Negotiations have taken place.

The government is committed to reducing the budget deficit in fiscal year 2023. Talking about the talks with the IMF delegation, he added, “The IMF team has called for an end to subsidies on petrol and electricity prices. This subsidy was given by the previous government in violation of the agreement with the IMF. The current government is committed to reviving the IMF program and putting the country back on the path to sustainable development. ‘
