This letter refers to the article ‘IMF and the politico-economic challenges’ (TNS, November 19, 2023) by Abdul Rauf Shakoori and Dr Ikramul Haq. The article gives a comprehensive analysis of Pakistan’s politico-economic landscape, addressing the challenges of low foreign exchange reserves and constrained revenue collection. The discussion on inflation provides a realistic view, detailing both positive and concerning aspects.
Importantly, the article appropriately stresses the need for sustained commitment to structural reforms and cautions against injecting funds into state enterprises. A more explicit exploration of potential solutions and policy recommendations could have further enriched the discussion.
