The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stated that Pakistan continues to face corruption-related challenges despite showing signs of economic progress and recovery in recent months.
In its latest assessment, the IMF highlighted that although Pakistan has taken important steps to stabilize its economy—such as improving revenue collection, tightening fiscal discipline, and implementing structural reforms—governance vulnerabilities and corruption risks remain major obstacles to sustainable development.
The report emphasised that weak institutional capacity, lack of transparency, and limited accountability mechanisms continue to hinder effective policy implementation. The IMF also urged Pakistan to strengthen its regulatory framework, improve oversight of public institutions, and adopt stronger anti-corruption measures to ensure long-term economic stability.
According to the IMF, addressing corruption will be crucial for Pakistan to attract foreign investment, maintain economic momentum, and restore public trust.
