国际货币基金组织(IMF)今天早些时候宣布与巴基斯坦达成一项员工级协议(SLA),专家认为该协议将防止可能的违约并为该国经济带来稳定。
威尔逊中心南亚研究所所长迈克尔·库格曼在接受当地新闻频道采访时表示,该交易将避免违约,释放主要债权人的额外资金,并在一定程度上提高投资者信心。 该协议涉及与国际货币基金组织达成的价值 30 亿美元的“备用安排 (SBA)”。
Islamabad waited until the very final hour to take the (politically risky) fiscal policy steps that the IMF had been hoping to see for months. If it had taken those steps earlier, much of the drama and fraught negotiations of recent months likely wouldn’t have had to play out.
