Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced successful Pakistan IMF talks for a $1 billion tranche on March 14, 2025.

During a meeting chaired by PM Shehbaz Sharif, he confirmed the IMF will state on Saturday, signaling progress in economic reforms.

Aurangzeb assured Sharif the Memorandum for Economic and Financial Policies (MEFP) is set, with IMF board approval expected in May for the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and Climate Resilience Facility (CRF). The Pakistan IMF talks from March 3-14 also raised the petroleum levy to Rs70/liter to fund lower power prices.

Taxation and Levy Changes

The government plans an 18% sales tax on imports, with retail deductions, to end disparities. It also plans a Rs3/liter carbon levy from July to curb fossil fuels. The IMF rejected pleas to lower a Rs791/mmBtu grid levy, pushing industries to shift from gas to the grid despite a 23% gas price hike.

Pakistan’s 283,000 net metering users by 2024 shift a Rs159 billion burden to others, potentially rising to Rs4.24 trillion by 2034. Industrialists raised concerns over 600 stuck containers in Karachi, prompting Sharif to order weekend clearance. The Pakistan IMF talks aim to balance fiscal stability and growth.

The Pakistan IMF talks unlock critical funds and reforms, from climate initiatives to tax equity. As grid levies rise to Rs6,000/mmBtu by 2026, Pakistan navigates economic strain and IMF demands, shaping its financial future.
