The discussions are expected to focus on fiscal targets, taxation measures, expenditure management, and broader economic reforms linked to the IMF programme.
Officials are also concerned about the possible economic impact of rising regional tensions, particularly on oil prices, trade flows, and inflation.
Economic experts say the outcome of the negotiations could play a major role in shaping Pakistan’s financial strategy and market confidence in the coming months.
The government is expected to present the budget after consultations with the IMF are finalized.
