The current discussion about the upcoming loan tranche between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is scheduled to continue today.
The Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) changes, tax collection, and immediate efforts taken to reduce tax collection for the current fiscal year are only a few of the topics on which the IMF officials will be briefed.
State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) representatives will also discuss their plan to deploy new plastic currency notes to fight counterfeit money. This strategy is already used by Switzerland and many Far Eastern countries.
