Experts react: A renewed Pakistan-IMF agreement

By Atlantic Council

On Monday, November 22, 2021 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Pakistan reached a staff-level agreement to complete the sixth review under the $6 billion Extended Fund Facility, funding that has been stalled since April due to issues over the required reforms.

Below, South Asia Center experts share their analysis.
