The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has conditionally agreed to provide a $3 billion bailout package to Pakistan, demanding the imposition of capital gains tax on cryptocurrency investments and an increase in tax measures on crypto profits as prerequisites. This move aims to secure financial stability for Pakistan's faltering economy. A staff level agreement has been reached, which, upon approval by the IMF's board, will lead to the disbursement of $1.1 billion to assist the South Asian nation. In response to the financial assistance, Pakistan plans to increase gas and electricity prices to manage its circular debt. The country faces the challenge of repaying about $7 billion to the IMF over the next five years while its foreign reserves stand at $8 billion.
