Imran Khan's party asks IMF to consider Pakistan's political stability in bailout talks, sources say
Analysts say that a new government - which Khan's opponents are expected to form after this month's national election - may need to seek more funds from the global lender.
The party of Pakistan's former prime minister, Imran Khan, has asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to factor in the country's political stability in any further bailout talks, two people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
Khan's party has sent a letter to the IMF detailing its position, two senior sources in Khan's party with knowledge of the letter said. Pakistan's cash-strapped economy is struggling to recover from an economic crisis and secured a $3 billion bailout from the IMF last summer. Analysts say that a new government - which Khan's opponents are expected to form after this month's national election - may need to seek more funds from the global lender.
