"Policy commitments made by the Pakistani authorities as part of the Seventh and Eighth review under their IMF-support programme continue to apply," IMF representative in Islamabad Esther Pérez Ruiz told Reuters. The IMF representative made the comments a day after former finance minister Miftah Ismail termed the government’s decision to freeze fuel levy “reckless”. Miftah had prematurely increased it to Rs37.5 per liter despite the IMF had set the Rs35 per liter limit for petrol for October 1.
