ISLAMABAD : After days of negotiations, Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)  have finally reached consensus agreement over the issue of increase in salaries of government employees in the upcoming 2020-21 fiscal year budget. According to details, the third round of budget talks between Pakistan and IMF was held in Islamabad today in which IMF was agreed over the increase in salaries of government employees.
