Pakistan has requested the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to delay a board meeting meant to consider the country's sixth review to the end of January, the finance ministry said.
The meeting was meant to take place this week on Jan. 12 to review the recommendation to release 1 billion USD of Pakistan's 6 billion USD, three-year programme.
