Adviser to the Prime Minister (PM) on Finance and Revenue Shaukat Tarin left Washington on Thursday without concluding the talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reports Dawn.
The minister, however, left Finance Secretary Yousaf Khan behind to further carry on the talks for the resumption of a $6 billion loan facility that would bring immediate relief to the government by delivering a suspended tranche of $1billion.
Tarin first came to Washington in early October and went to New York on October 15.
Tarin met IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and other officials twice, and after both meetings, each side expressed the hope that the consultations would soon lead to a positive conclusion.
However, Tarin quietly left Washington on Thursday. He may join PM Khan who is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia this weekend.
