Details of agreement with IMF to be made public, says Ishaq Dar

Islamabad (Web Desk): Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday assured that details of the staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be made public.

Speaking at the Senate Committee of the Whole, the minister said once the staff agreement is signed, it will be put on the website of the Finance Ministry and nothing will be concealed.

The minister said that the former regime of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had signed an agreement with IMF in 2019.

Dar said said he believes in transparency and fiscal discipline in the country.

Responding to the points raised earlier in the Committee, he said nobody in Pakistan can compromise on the nuclear and missile assets of the country.

"We are responsible citizens of Pakistan, we represent the people of Pakistan and we are here to guard the national interest of the country" he added.

The finance further said that Pakistan was a sovereign nation and nobody in the world had the right to tell us what range of missiles we should have.
