Sources from the Ministry of Finance reveal that Pakistan has requested more time from the IMF to implement the agricultural income tax, citing flood-related damage to the farming sector. Provinces have delayed immediate enforcement due to economic strain. The IMF’s ongoing discussions also include the wheat procurement policy, asset declaration of government officials, and the Corruption & Governance Diagnostic Assessment Report. Pakistan has sought an extension for publishing the report and requested flexibility on structural benchmarks to expedite the agreement.
