Description

Pakistan has formally conveyed its decision that the country does not wish to enter into a successor agreement with the IMF on completion of the current PRGF Programme at the end of 2004. This decision has evoked two kinds of responses – one that of relief that we will no longer be subjected to the harsh conditionalities of the Fund and second that of disbelief that the country is not yet ready to shed off this yoke and even if this is done it will only be for a temporary duration – in other words, it will not be sustainable.
