Despite the fact that Pakistan is currently experiencing tremendous economic strain, opportunities always come with obstacles. The government may find it difficult politically to abide by the IMF’s stringent requirements, but the seriousness of the situation necessitates the continuation of the IMF’s current programme. The IMF’s demands will all be carried out, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who also acknowledged that the general public will experience a new wave of inflation as a result of the execution of these terms. Financial challenges could arise. Islamabad has requested that the US government utilise its diplomatic might to persuade the IMF to adopt a lenient stance toward Pakistan in light of this. During a meeting with the US Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Asia, who is in Pakistan, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar requested assistance. If we examine the messages coming from the US, it appears that Washington is aware of Pakistan’s challenges and believes that the two countries should work together to keep the region peaceful. Islamabad will purchase Russian petroleum supplies at a reduced price despite the fact that it has not signed a contract capping (or fixing) their price. In a press conference, the US State Department’s spokesperson stated that Pakistan can also benefit from the agreement’s concession to the signatory nations over the purchase of oil from Russia. It should be mentioned that the G7 and European Union countries agreed a price cap of $60 per barrel for Russian oil on December 3, 2022. The measure is claimed to be intended to prevent Moscow from using oil earnings to wage war against Ukraine. Since Europe and the United States have stopped buying Russian crude oil, the potential of third-world countries, particularly Pakistan, being harmed by the regulated purchase price has increased because Islamabad is not a customer of Russian oil in general. Earlier this month, market observers warned Pakistan that it could face petroleum shortages in the near future. The lack of currency will not prevent Pakistan from acquiring oil from Russia. The arrival of the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, in Rahim Yar Khan, has unveiled several possibilities in this scenario. The UAE will invest extensively in Pakistan. I order to go on the path of development, we must pay special attention to efficiency and eliminate the deficiencies in all of our sectors. *
