The PM had also claimed on Friday that the IMF mission would come to Pakistan in two to three days. The statement did not indicate that the 9th review mission will arrive in Pakistan in three days - a self-claimed deadline that will expire on Monday. After the PM’s speech, the finance ministry sources also said no dates for the IMF review mission had been finalised yet. The prime minister had also said that Georgieva inquired whether or not China and Saudi Arabia were supporting Pakistan. Following this, a statement by Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanullah also confirmed that even foreign nations will not help without the IMF umbrella.
