Claiming “positive news on economic front from all sides”, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh said on Tuesday a staff mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would be arriving here in a few weeks for a shared understanding on tax reforms, higher collections and improvements in power sector.

Speaking at a news conference with Information Minister Shibli Faraz soon after a meeting of the federal cabinet, he said the IMF mission would come in a few weeks to give a formal structure to ongoing discussions with it and then the programme would be fully on track.

Dr Shaikh said Pakistan had very good relations with the IMF for the basic reason that all matters were progressing strictly the way these were committed, including better tax collection, strong reduction in government expenditures and paying off debts in a better way.
