Staff level agreement with IMF 'within a few days': Pakistan PM Sharif

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that the staff-level agreement with the IMF will be reached "within a few days" as the cash-strapped government has accepted even the “toughest conditions" of the global lender for reviving the stalled USS 1.1 billion loan tranche. Sharif said that joint efforts were being made by both his economic team and other national institutions to make the process a success.
