The IMF imposed 11 new conditions on Pakistan's $7 billion bailout, raising total requirements to 64 over 18 months. The fresh directives, announced after Thursday's $1.2 billion disbursement, target corruption reduction, governance improvement, and identifying government leaks. Key conditions include publishing high-ranking bureaucrats' asset details on government websites by December 2026, developing anti-corruption action plans for 10 identified departments, and allowing banks full access to officials' declarations. Pakistan must study remittance costs projected at $1.5 billion annually and submit an action plan by May 2026. The IMF demands sugar market liberalization policy by June 2026 to end elite capture. So far, $3.3 billion has been disbursed from the 39-month program. (PC: X)
