Is Pakistan's $7bn IMF bailout package in trouble?
Briefly

"Earlier this week, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar accused the IMF of deliberately delaying the release of funds, stating that there were attempts to sabotage critical negotiations with the IMF, especially during Pakistan's time of need. He emphasized that despite completing the technical review, there had been unexplained delays and questioned the rationale behind wasting their time, highlighting the geopolitical factors influencing the interactions."
"Pakistan's economic situation has deteriorated due to dual crises of political instability and economic meltdown, as evidenced by Pakistan's history with the IMF, which started from the first bailout deal in 1958. The struggles faced by the current government and the previous one indicate a recurring theme of leadership challenges in aligning with the IMF's strict program conditions, affecting the nation's ability to stabilize and grow economically."
