Moody’s warning Moody’s Investors Service has raised concerns about Pakistan’s ability to obtain loans from bilateral and multilateral partners. According to the credit company, this ability will be severely limited until a new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is reached. According to the report, it is unclear whether Pakistan will participate in another IMF programme until after the upcoming elections in October 2023. Even if future IMF programme negotiations are successful, they are expected to be time-consuming.
