Reached staff-level agreement with Pakistan on 3 billion dollar stand-by arrangement, announces IMF

• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that it has reached a staff-level agreement with Pakistan on a 3 billion dollar stand-by arrangement.
• According to media reports, the deal is subject to approval by the IMF board in July. It comes after an eight-month delay and aims to address Pakistan's acute balance of payments crisis and dwindling foreign exchange reserves.
• With soaring inflation and foreign exchange reserves that can barely cover a month's worth of controlled imports, Pakistan has been grappling with its worst economic crisis in decades. Analysts had warned that without the IMF agreement, the country could spiral into a debt default.
