Pakistan has assured the International Monetary Fund that it was moving forward with eliminating the negative list on trade with New Delhi and granting the most favoured nation status to India as part of its overall trade policy, a media report said on Saturday.
“We are moving forward with eliminating the negative list on trade with India and extending India most favoured nation status, and shifting to 'sensitive list' under SAFTA (South Asia Free Trade Arrangement) regime to facilitate increased regional trade,” Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said.
The Minister said this in a written assurance to the IMF during negotiations for recently approved $ 6.64 billion economic bailout package, The Dawn daily said in a report.
