Pakistan discussed its $7 billion bailout reform agenda with the International Monetary Fund during an unscheduled staff visit last week, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said on Sunday, suggesting no new taxes are to be imposed.

The unusual visit from Nov 12 to Nov 15 discussed a $7-billion bailout within six weeks of its approval by the IMF board, but came too early for the first review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), due in the first quarter of 2025.

Pakistan presented its $7 billion bailout reform agenda to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) during an unscheduled visit by the fund's mission. Talks occurred within six weeks of loan approval, a rare move ahead of a first review scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.

The International Monetary Fund's Pakistan mission chief Nathan Porter on Tuesday opened unusual talks with Pakistan over a $7 billion bailout approved by its board in September, the finance ministry and sources said.
