Talks Begin For Another Bailout for #Pakistan A day after the official announcement of the cancellation of the much anticipated Saudi Crown Prince's visit for investment, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission is in Pakistan to assess the country's economic situation and discuss a potential $6-8 billion bailout package. The talks are aimed at addressing Pakistan's estimated $9.1 billion external financing gap over the next three years and implementing wide-ranging economic reforms. Concerns have been raised about the political capacity to undertake necessary economic measures, and the IMF's involvement is seen as crucial for other financial institutions to support Pakistan's economic recovery. The IMF mission is expected to last over 10 days, and discussions will focus on the "next phase of engagement" and the possibility of a new Extended Fund Facility.

How to convince investors to invest in #pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰where there is no sanctity of contracts? Where a sovereign guarantee doesn’t mean a lot? Where #supremecourt nullifies billion dollar contracts? Where political instability causes policies to change overnight? The answer is investor will seek high risk premiums to accept the uncertainty of future. This is why nobody will invest in Pakistan.

https://lnkd.in/dPZkVWUz There is a lot going on in Niger since the overthrow of Mohamed Bazoum in July 2023. The military junta that currently rules the Sahelian country has first made headlines by withdrawing from ECOWAS, and creating a political alliance with the other two military-ruled Sahelian countries, Mali and Burkina Faso. It was argued that such a political alliance was a risky bet for Niger knowing that it lacks the resources to sustain itself. In addition to this risky political move that would likely yield deleterious socioeconomic results, the country recently missed another debt payment, bringing their total default to nearly $520 million since the July 2023 coup. The default will lead to the government resorting to printing money to cover its financial gaps, leading to inflation and eroding the purchasing power of citizens. The default could damage Niger's international reputation and limit its ability to secure international cooperation and assistance.

However, to enable Benin to take advantage of the #global #financial #architecture to accelerate its structural transformation, International financial institutions should strengthen their role as #advisors and #providers of guarantee instruments to mobilize #innovative #financial vehicles for #sustainable #finance such as green, blue, and social bonds.
