Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that his government has “no other option” but to implement the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme to revive the cash-starved economy. The prime minister also said that the agreement with the IMF was blatantly breached by the Imran Khan-led PTI government. Cash-strapped Pakistan revived a stalled USD 6 billion IMF programme this year but is finding it hard to meet the tough conditions of the Washington-based global lender.
